Catena zapata - nicolas catena zapata 2016bodega catena zapata is one of the leading wineries in mendoza, argentina. Founded in 1902, it is still owned by the catena zapata family and managed today by nicolás catena zapata. The estate comprises six vineyards in the sub-regions of luján de cuyo, tupungato and san carlos de mendoza, at altitudes ranging from 920 to 1,450 meters above sea level. The winery, with its Mayan-influenced pyramid shape, is located in Agrelo, a luján de cuyo.catena produces a wide range of wines under several different labels. The top range is the catena zapata line, which includes four wines from two different vineyards (nicasia and adrianna), and the malbec argentino, which is produced from grapes selected from the best rows of vines in each vineyard. The catena and catena alta ranges are more straightforward, offering wines made from malbec, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. The bodega is particularly well known for its rich, full-bodied red wines, as well as for its barrel-fermented Chardonnays from high-altitude sites, which combine ripeness and fresh acidity.with its inaugural vintage in 1997, nicolás catena zapata became argentina's first luxury cuvée to be exported worldwide. The wine recreates the original Bordeaux blend of the 18th and 19th centuries, when Malbec dominated Merlot and was blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. Pre-grafted massal selections of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from ungrafted vines are used to make this wine. The blend is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), Malbec (31%) and Cabernet Franc (8%). Fermentation takes place in 500-liter oak barrels, concrete and stainless steel vats for around 10-15 days. Post-fermentation maceration lasts between 5 and 10 days. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then leavened in French oak barrels for 18 months.cépages : 61% cabernet sauvignon, 31% malbec, 8% cabernet franc
