Producer Information: Catena Zapata
Catena Zapata is based in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, the winery has remained family-owned for four generations. Catena Zapata pioneered high-altitude viticulture in Argentina, focusing on sustainable farming and meticulous vineyard management. Their production approach emphasizes terroir expression and scientific research, with a particular focus on microclimate studies to optimize grape quality.
Beyond their flagship Malbec wines, Catena Zapata produces a diverse portfolio that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Bonarda, and Syrah. The winery also crafts limited-edition blends and single-vineyard bottlings that highlight unique soil profiles across their estate vineyards.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There is another white in the Appellation range in 2018, so the 2018 Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay is not the only white anymore. This comes from two vineyards in Tupungato: one in Villa Bastías and one in Gualtallary. The full clusters were pressed, and 80% of the juice fermented in stainless steel while the rest was in oak barrels, then the full volume matured in used French oak barrels for nine months. It has a note of popcorn, a smoky and spicy whiff and a balanced palate where the acidity is very integrated, fresh but with some density. It's varietal and approachable. 180,000 bottles produced.
