2005 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Altamira Mendoza

Nicolas Catena has been Argentina's undisputed leader in exporting high-quality wine to international markets since the mid-1990s and is also a major owner of choice vineyards around Mendoza. He offers white and red wines at a variety of price points, all of them concentrated, harmonious, complex and fresh, with considerable early appeal but also structured to develop in bottle.

Catena's Chardonnays are among the elite examples of this variety from Argentina, as few other producers manage to capture so much freshness of fruit. Even their mass-market Alamos bottling is usually a winner.
