Nicolás Catena Zapata was the first to systematically focus on high-altitude vineyards – now standard practice in Argentina, but an experiment at the time. The winery is considered a pioneer of modern Argentine winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, this blend of \u003cstrong\u003eCabernet Sauvignon and Malbec\u003c\/strong\u003e displays aromas of dark blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum, underpinned by notes of cedar, graphite, and a hint of tobacco. The tannins are dense yet silky – the result of extended barrel aging. The finish is long, with a mineral note that reflects its volcanic origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry-aged ribeye, leg of lamb with rosemary, mature Manchego cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17–18 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now until 2030+, with a decanting time of at least one hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Catena Zapata","offers":[{"title":"2005","offer_id":53019946123600,"sku":"VJ1147-2005","price":159.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2021","offer_id":53019946156368,"sku":"VJ1147-2021","price":96.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/63001621_2501_ohneJg.png?v=1779117087","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/nicolas-catena-zapata","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
