Bodega Catena Zapata: Unveiling the Legacy of Cabernet Sauvignon

Embark on a remarkable journey with Bodega Catena Zapata's "Birth of the Cabernet," a wine that encapsulates the essence of Argentina’s celebrated winemaking heritage. Originating from the picturesque San Carlos, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, this exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon embodies a story as enchanting as its flavors.

The narrative begins with bees unwittingly crossing Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc flowers, leading to the creation of a new varietal that would later captivate a winemaker’s heart. This Cabernet Sauvignon, a perfect blend of 50% from La Pirámide and 40% from Angélica Sur, complemented by 10% Cabernet Franc, showcases the unique terroir of the Andes, making it a must-try for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Crafted with precision by the esteemed enologist Alejandro Vigil, this wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and ages for 12 to 24 months in a selection of first, second, and third-use French oak barrels. The result is a complex wine with rich layers of dark berries, subtle spices, and a silky mouthfeel that speaks to its heritage.

To elevate your tasting experience, pair "Birth of the Cabernet" with exquisite dishes such as herb-crusted rack of lamb with a red wine reduction, filet mignon topped with black truffle butter and wild mushroom duxelles, or grilled quail stuffed with foie gras and served with a cherry compote. These culinary creations harmonize beautifully with the wine's robust character, enhancing your dining experience and creating unforgettable moments.

Discover the magic of Bodega Catena Zapata and savor every sip of this extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon. Cheers to exquisite taste and unforgettable moments!
