Bodega Catena Zapata is a family-owned winery located in Mendoza, in the sub appellation of Agrelo, Argentina. The winery structure is distinguished by its pyramid-like design based on Mayan architecture.[1][2] It's wines have contributing to raising the profile of Argentine as a hub for wine production.[3][4] [5]

The winery was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena and was passed to his son Domingo.[6][1] [7] Domingo’s son, Nicolás Catena Zapata (A.K.A. Nicolás Catena) was one of the first to introduce European winemaking techniques to Argentina[1][8] and pioneered Malbec and vine growing in high altitudes.[1] [9][10] [7] Nicolás Catena’s daughter, Laura Catena, and other members of the Zapata family have also been involved in the winery.[9]
