Bodega Catena Zapata Riviera

Catena Zapata · Mendoza · Argentina

Bodega Catena Zapata Riviera is an red wine from Argentina, in the Mendoza region (Western Argentina, in the foothills of the Andes about 1,000km west of Buenos Aires.), made principally from Malbec. A headline Andean Malbec from Catena's Adrianna Vineyard, prized for its high-altitude purity.

In character, this premium tier delivers the classic malbec profile — blackberry, plum, chocolate, violet — with the structural stamp of Mendoza and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
