99 points for Adrianna Vineyard White Bones 2024.
Thank you, Vinous - Joaquín Hidalgo, for recognizing the beauty and singularity of this high-altitude Chardonnay from Gualtallary!
A bold experiment in high-altitude viticulture evolved into a global benchmark for terroir-driven wine —and helped redefine perceptions of Argentine wine in the process. Adrianna Vineyard, planted in 1992 at 1,450 meters above sea level in Gualtallary.
“Catena Zapata was among the first wineries to focus on premium white wine in Argentina, planting Chardonnay in their Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary in the early 1990s.”— Julian Leidy, Jancis Robinson

At Catena Zapata, we promote biodiversity in our vineyards, where animals coexist within this natural environment. Happy Biodiversity Day!
“I still love high-altitude Chardonnay the most. It’s crisp, floral, and slightly creamy from the sun and stony calcareous soils, and it has the capacity to age.”— Dr. Laura Catena
25 years of La Pirámide
In the late 1990s, I envisioned a winery to reflect the rise of Argentine wine. Inspired by Tikal and brought to life by Pablo Sánchez Elía, La Pirámide became a distinctly American expression.
A symbol of identity and history.

Harvest 2026, Mendoza.
A cool, slow season shaped by rain and patience. In the vineyard, each step is measured: careful hands, quiet precision. A harvest defined by timing. Quality stands out.
