Catena Zapata The Birth of Cabernet 2022

$179.00

Artisan Malbec is proud to present the exclusive launch of Birth of Cabernet from Bodega Catena Zapata. This remarkable wine celebrates one of the most fascinating stories in the world of wine: the birth of Cabernet Sauvignon itself. According to wine history, Cabernet Sauvignon was created when a bee carried pollen from Cabernet Franc to Sauvignon Blanc, giving rise to the grape that would become one of the world’s great varieties.

Created by the Catena family in Mendoza, this wine tells that story through both the bottle and the glass—combining history, myth, and Argentina’s high-altitude terroir. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it is a tribute to the journey of this noble grape from France to the foothills of the Andes.

Now available exclusively at Artisan Malbec, this limited release invites you to discover a wine where heritage, storytelling, and Argentine craftsmanship come together in a truly unique bottle.

WINERY

Catena Zapata

Great wines begin in the vineyard. Catena Zapata’s vision is to make rich and unforgettable wines that are true to the land. Founded in 1902, Argentina’s Catena Zapata is known for its pioneering role in resurrecting the Malbec grape and in discovering extreme high-altitude terroirs in the Andean foothills of Mendoza. Through the pioneering vision and tireless work of Nicolás Catena Zapata over the past 40 years, Argentine wine now stands with the best wines of the world. The family’s historic Adrianna vineyard has been called South America’s grand cru. Now under the direction of fourth generation vintner Dr. Laura Catena, Catena Zapata continues to lead Argentina into the next century of winemaking through the work of the Catena Institute of Wine and its mission to preserve the vines and the winemaking culture of Mendoza
