"The project began in the early 1980s with the selection of the best mountain vineyard sites and the most suitable clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot, all designed to produce a wine that could rival the most prestigious of the world. Extensive research and investigation led to the development of exceptional vineyards, giving birth to Catena Zapata. The grapes, sourced from the Agrelo vineyard, planted at 3117 ft at the foot of the Andes, enjoy a wide thermal amplitude of sunny days and cool nights, ensuring a high concentration of flavors and aromas, as well as the tannic structure necessary for long term aging. Catena Zapata Estiba Reservada has a deep violet colour with red ruby hues. The nose is intense, with complex cedar, ripe red cassis, tobacco and sweet spice. On the palate, a sweet, soft entry leads to a rich wine packed with red fruit and subtle black pepper and eucalyptus flavours. Finishes long and elegant with round, silky tannins."

The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Yields dark, plush reds with ripe black fruit and soft tannins. A traditional Bordeaux blender, it found its greatest fame in Argentina.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
