The thorough fermentation process at the Catena Zapata winery is conducted in small batches to maintain control and enhance the flavors.The wine is then aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels to add complexity and depth. Head winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, has been at Catena Zapata for over 20 years, and consistently strives to channel his creative energy into pushing the limits of conventional viticultural and winemaking wisdom. The result is a truly exceptional Malbec that stands as a testament to the artistry and expertise of Argentine winemaking.
