Continent Winner - The Best Vineyard in South America 2023

Catena Zapata

Mendoza, Argentina

Ethos: Elevating our historic variety Malbec and our Argentine winemaking regions for another 200 years.

Bodega Catena Zapata is a driving force in Argentine winemaking. A winery that played a pivotal role in resurrecting Malbec's fortunes, pushing Mendoza's vineyards higher into the Andean foothills, and delving deeply into the country's many terroirs. The family even founded the Catena Institute to scientifically examine every aspect of the local soils, rocks and microorganisms and their effect on the vines.


The visionary qualities of Nicolás Catena Zapata and his daughter Laura have seen them produce some of Argentina's most acclaimed wines and establish what many consider to be a 'grand cru' of South America, the lofty Adrianna Vineyard over 5,000 feet above sea level. The glorious Malbecs and scintillating Chardonnays steal the show at every tasting but nothing can compare to trying them in the very place they are made, paired with music or with a perfectly paired meal at the Angelica restaurant.

Don’t miss: At the end of the winery tour, discover the unique sensory experience of tasting five wines paired with an eclectic selection of music.
