Catena Zapata Nicolas Catena Zapata 2020
With the inaugural vintage of 1997, Nicolás Catena Zapata became Argentina's first luxury cuvée exported worldwide. The wine recreates the 'original Bordeaux blend' of the 18th and 19th centuries when Malbec dominated Merlot and was par with Cabernet Sauvignon in the Médoc.
