To Move Beyond Malbec, Look Below the Surface. Eric Asimov, February 2016

“Catena Zapata makes beautiful, age-worthy vintages from its relatively chilly Uco Valley vineyards, and I suggest investing primarily in their wines first. They’re also some of the only truly investable Malbecs”.

Why we’re seeing more collectible high-end Argentinian Malbec and how to invest in it. November 2016

Nicolás Catena, once again among the Leaders of Wine.

The Leaders of Wine, People who made a difference. Mitch Frank, November 2016

“Each of these women has herself overcome obstacles to achieve success and recognition in the largely male-dominated wine industry. Laura Catena is a champion for Argentine wine, spearheading a great amount of research into high-altitude winemaking and mountain terroir”.

“Sip Post-Election Inspiration with these female winemakers”. Courtney Schiessl, November 2016

“The wines from Bodega Catena Zapata, including the Chardonnays, have established an impressive track record for longevity —not to mention positive development in bottle. Even the earliest vintages (of my vertical tasting of the Nicolás Catena Zapata 1997-2012) showed claret-like complexity and finesse of texture. Most impressive, the high quality of this special bottling has been remarkably consistent from year one. Laura Catena told me their focus on parcellization would give them their next big leap in quality.”
