Catena Chardonnay

The Catena Chardonnay combines the unique expressions of three high altitude vineyard sites. The La Piramide vineyard offers rich pineapple, passion fruit flavors and aromas with a touch of sweet honey with a rich mouthfeel. The Domingo vineyard lends notes of citrus fruit with floral notes and excellent acidity. The Adrianna vineyard contributes green apple, pear and fig flavors with a strong mineral component and vibrant acidity.

The wine shows a light yellow color with marked greenish tones. The aromas show tropical fruit flavors with touches of apple and pear as well as hints of cinnamon and minerals. The mouthfeel is full yet clean, with fresh, crisp acidity.

Bodega Catena Zapata

Bodega Catena Zapata: Malbec, Mendoza und jede Menge Mut.

Der Erfolg des fast schon sagenumwobenen argentinischen Weingutes Bodega Catena Zapata ist eng mit Nicolás Catena verbunden, der Bodega Catena Zapata seit den 1980er-Jahren zu einem Weingut von Weltrang formte. Alles begann mit dem Vorfahren Nicola Catena, der 1898 von Italien nach Argentinien, Mendoza, auswanderte. Bereits 1902 pflanzte er Malbec an – mit der Vision, dass diese Rebe in Südamerika am Fuße der Anden ihre ganze Qualität entfalten könne. Jahrzehnte später bewies Nicolás Catena, wie recht sein Vorfahre hatte.

Während einer Gastprofessur an der University of California ließ sich der Wirtschaftsprofessor in den frühen 1980er-Jahren vom Erfolg des Napa Valley inspirieren. Zurück in Argentinien arbeitete er akribisch daran, die besten Lagen für verschiedene Rebsorten in Mendoza zu identifizieren. Er scheute auch nicht davor zurück, etwa Chardonnay oder Malbec in besonderen Höhenlagen anzupflanzen – gegen den Rat vermeintlicher Weinexperten. Spektakuläre Weine wie Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec oder Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Malbec bewiesen schließlich, wie wertvoll Nicolás Catenas mutiger Ansatz war. Die unzähligen internationalen Auszeichnungen für Nicolás Catena sprechen für sich.

Bodega Catena Zapata steht für außergewöhnliche Weine, vorzügliche Lagen in Mendoza und auch für ein ausgeprägtes Familienbewusstsein. Zapata zum Beispiel ist der Geburtsname von Nicolás' Mutter. Die meisten Lagen tragen Familiennamen: Angélica Vineyard ist nach Nicolás Catenas Mutter benannt, Domingo Vineyard nach dem Vater, Adrianna Vineyard nach der jüngsten Tochter und Nicasia Vineyard nach der Urgroßmutter.

Product recommendation

Catena Cabernet Sauvignon
Eine der Stärken von Catena ist die genaue Analyse der Weinberge und des Weincharakters bis hin zur einzelnen Parzelle.Die intensive Cassis-Frucht und das reife, geschmeidige Tannin gehen auf den La Pirámide-Weinberg (940 Meter) zurück. Für die würzigen und pfeffrigen Noten dagegen ist Domingo (1.130 Meter) verantwortlich, während Adrianna (1.500 Meter) Balance, Konzentration und den Hauch von Mineralien und Eukalyptus beisteuert.Genießen Sie den Catena Cabernet Sauvignon zum Beispiel zu Schmorgerichten, Grillfleisch oder einer Lammkeule.
