Nicolas Catena Zapata 2020
With its inaugural 1997 vintage, Nicolás Catena Zapata became the first luxury cuvée from Argentina to be exported around the world. The wine recreates the “Original Bordeaux Blend” of the 18th and 19th Centuries, when Malbec dominated over Merlot and was in equal standing to Cabernet Sauvignon in the Médoc. Prephylloxeric Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon massale selections of ungrafted vines give rise to this wine, opening a window to the past from the mountain vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina.
The 2020 Nicolás Catena Zapata is a flagship Argentine Bordeaux-style blend from the Mendoza region, celebrated for its elegance and high-altitude complexity. This vintage is notable for featuring a higher proportion of Cabernet Franc (25%) than ever before, used to maintain freshness during a particularly warm and dry growing season.
Aging Potential: While drinkable now with decanting (recommended 1–2 hours), experts suggest it will continue to improve in the cellar through 2035 or beyond.
