Nicola Catena planted his first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza in 1902. His grandson, Nicolas Catena, is known as the man who revolutionized Argentine wine and introduced high altitude Malbec to the world. The Historic Catena Zapata vineyards are planted with the Catena family’s proprietary selection of malbec plants: the Catena Cuttings. Catena Alta Malbec is sourced from Lot 18 of the Angelica vineyard, Lot 4 of the La Piramide vineyard, Lot 1 of the Nicasia vineyard, Lot 6 of the Angelica Sur vineyard and Lot 9 of the Adrianna vineyard.
