Catena Paraje Altamira Malbec

Catena Appellation Paraje Altamira Malbec is a premium red wine produced in the Mendoza region of Argentina. This specific wine originates from the high-altitude vineyards of Paraje Altamira, a district within the Uco Valley renowned for its unique limestone-rich soils and microclimate. The brand, Catena, is one of the most prestigious names in Argentine winemaking, credited with elevating Malbec to international acclaim.

The brand is owned and operated by Bodega Catena Zapata, a family-owned winery founded in 1902 by Nicola Catena. Unlike many large beverage brands that have been acquired by global conglomerates, Catena Zapata remains under the ultimate ownership and management of the Catena family, currently led by Dr. Laura Catena and her father, Nicolás Catena Zapata. The estate continues to be headquartered in Mendoza, Argentina, maintaining its status as a family-led pioneer in viticulture and high-mountain wine production.
