Catena Alta Chardonnay 2019

HED35054 75cl 14%
Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family State vineyards. This Chardonnay is a beautiful blend of two key vineyards. Adrianna and Domingo. At almost 5,000 feet elevation in the Andean foothills, the Adrianna vineyard`s calcareous soils and cool climate are the promised land of Chardonnay. The fruit from this vineyard boasts a unique purity of flavours and minerality. The nearby, gravel-covered Domingo Vineyard makes up 20% of the blend. Stone fruits and citrus, with elegant floral character come to the fore.

Catena Zapata

Catena Zapata

Over more than a century, the Catenas have evolved into the pre-eminent winemaking family in Argentina. The family’s history in wine goes back to 1902 when Nicola Catena purchased his first Mendoza vineyard. Much more recently, in 1997, his grandson, Nicolás Zapata pioneered the idea of fine wine from Argentina. Inspired by Bordeaux and Napa, he was the first person to ally Old World winemaking sensibilities to the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza.

Bodega Catena Zapata is now managed by (Dr) Laura Catena, who continues to uphold the the family’s standard of excellence, harnessing the high-altitude terroir of the Andes through precision viticulture and a highly granular cellar regime to produce one of the finest wine portfolios in Argentina.

The flagship wine of the Catena portfolio is the Nicolás Catena Zapata cuvée in which ungrafted Malbec is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon from ‘grand cru’ multiple plots, all processed via 200 micro-vinifications which are then blended together and matured for 24 months in French oak, with a further two years in bottle before release.
