Bodega Catena Zapata, Pyramid-shaped winery in Agrelo district, Argentina
Bodega Catena Zapata is a winery with a distinctive pyramid shape located in the Agrelo district. The facility operates across high-altitude vineyards where specific soil conditions and climatic zones shape the character of each section's grapes.
The winery was founded in 1902 and the Catena family gradually built it into an internationally recognized operation. Their focus on developing Malbec helped establish Argentina's reputation for this varietal on the global market.
The winery's pyramid shape draws inspiration from ancient American cultures and creates a visual link between historical civilizations and contemporary winemaking. This architectural choice shapes how visitors experience the space and understand the brand's identity.
The location sits roughly 45 minutes from Mendoza's international airport and is easily reached by car. Visitors can join guided tours and tastings, though planning ahead and checking the calendar is recommended.
Each vineyard parcel is managed individually according to its soil composition to bring out the differences between microclimate zones. This detailed approach allows the winery to craft wines that reflect the distinct characteristics of different altitude bands.
