CURIOSITIES: Catena wines are the result of special blends from different vineyards of the Catena family, elaborated by Laura Catena, fourth generation winemaker, and Alejandro Vigil, Chief Winemaker of Catena Zapata. Although Catena wines can be consumed at the time of release, they have proven to have a wonderful cellaring potential of ten to twenty years. After several decades of study and research of Mendoza's different high altitude microclimates, the Catena family has identified the best areas for planting the family's vineyards.
