Dear Wine Lover,
We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive vertical tasting dinner hosted by Ms. Tamara Amaya, Brand Ambassador of Bodega Catena Zapata, with a unique theatre performance by UK actress, Ms. Christina Baston.
The story of Catena is more or less the story of Argentine wine. In 1902, Catena Family planted their first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza, after sailing from Italy to Argentina. When the third generation Nicolás Catena Zapata, who was honoured as Decanter’s Man of the Year, began running the family winery in the 1960s, he drastically modernised the winemaking techniques, and pioneered the experiment on extremely high-altitude vineyards on the Andes Mountains.
Malbec Argentino is the family’s lover letter to the grape variety. It epitomises the epic tale of the noble Malbec grape, from its history in France and its rise in Argentina – a story of birth, movement, death and renaissance. For this special occasion, the evening will start with a theatre experience about the journey of Malbec expressed through four powerful female forces, followed by a vertical tasting of 5 vintages of Malbec Argentino for a sensory experience on the journey in the bottles through time.
