Two Wines from Catena’s Adrianna Vineyard are First South American Wines Awarded 100 Points from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate critic Luis Gutiérrez awards perfect scores to South America for the first time: Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard River Stones Malbec 2016 and El Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary 2013, both from the Catena family’s Adrianna Vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina.
MENDOZA, Argentina (PRWEB) July 16, 2018
Since its inception 40 years ago, a 100 point score from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate has marked the rise of a select few wineries from around the world. Most extraordinary is that this first-time South American perfect wine score was awarded to two wines produced in one vineyard, the Catena family’s Adrianna Vineyard. When Nicolás Catena planted this site in 1992, he was called crazy for cultivating the vines at such a high altitude. Vineyards had never been planted in the Gualtallary District, Tupungato Alto, Mendoza, because the climate was considered too extreme. This award for Argentina’s finest Grand Cru site, Adrianna, marks a historic moment for South American wine.
“Since 1902, every generation of my family has worked to elevate Argentine wine, and these awards for the Adrianna Vineyard are a true recognition for our region,” says Dr. Laura Catena, Managing Director of Catena Zapata.
“Terroir is everything, whether in France, Italy, or Argentina,” Catena adds. “When he planted the Adrianna Vineyard, my father, Nicolás Catena, was seeking an ideal location to make age-worthy wines in Mendoza, a site at the cool climate limit of vine cultivation. The organically farmed Adrianna Vineyard lies at almost 5,000 feet elevation on an ancient dry riverbed with a unique combination of stony and limestone soils, microbiomes and climate, resulting in a labyrinth of different micro-terroirs. By separately vinifying the grapes from each small parcel, we’ve found ‘the gold’ within this site.”
The Adrianna Vineyard River Stones Malbec 2016 comes from a particularly stony alluvial soil section of the vineyard. The small, oval stones provide excellent drainage and moderate the vast temperature shifts between the sunny days and cool nights. The wine’s suggested retail price is $160 per bottle and is scheduled for release in 2019.
Catena Zapata’s head winemaker Alejandro Vigil was also behind the Gran Enemigo Single Vineyard Gualtallary 2013, a partnership between himself and Adrianna Catena, Nicolás Catena’s youngest daughter. A blend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Malbec from the cool 2013 vintage, this exciting wine will evolve gracefully in the cellar for many years. Its suggested retail price is $120.

About Catena Zapata:
Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata and Dr. Laura Catena are the third and fourth-generation of Bodega Catena Zapata, a family winery founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant, Nicola Catena, in Mendoza, Argentina.
Although he was born in a small wine-producing village of just a few hundred inhabitants, Nicolás Catena Zapata sought to understand wine beyond his native Argentina. While studying Economics at Columbia University in the 1970s, and later, during an academic sabbatical in California, Nicolás was inspired by Robert Mondavi’s Napa revolution. Mondavi aimed at making American wines that could stand with the best of the world, and Catena asked himself: “Why not do this in Argentina?” What followed in the 1980’s and 1990’s was the beginning of Catena’s High Altitude Malbec Revolution. Nicolás decided to plant vineyards higher and higher in the Andean foothills, searching for greater concentration and elegance in his wines. Many in Mendoza thought his grapes would never ripen.
Inspired by her father’s quest for knowledge, born from small village roots, Nicolás’ daughter Laura studied biology at Harvard and received a Medical Doctor degree from Stanford. At first, Laura thought she would spend her life drinking, not making her family’s wines, until she came to the realization that her father and country needed her help back home in Argentina. In 1995 Dr. Laura Catena founded the Catena Institute of Wine with the aim of understanding the best high altitude sites in Argentina, and of bringing Malbec back from near-extinction. Malbec had been, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, France’s most important variety from the Middle Ages until the phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th Century, and father and daughter sought to bring back Malbec to its historic prominence. Two decades of soil studies by Laura and the Catena Institute led to the discovery of the special ‘parcelas’ of the Adrianna Vineyard.
Bodega Catena Zapata has been awarded the wine industry’s greatest honors from international food and wine media for its role in Argentina’s High Altitude Malbec Revolution. The family’s vision remains the same as its founder’s, to elevate Argentine wine. Reported by PRWeb 2 hours ago.

Ski Racing Legends Partner with Online Middle & High School
US Performance Academy (USPA) and International Ski Racing Academy (ISRA) have partnered in order to provide a flexible and accessible educational opportunity for female ski racing athletes in middle and high school who want to pursue their goals of making a national team, or excelling in collegiate ski racing while being challenged academically.
(PRWEB) July 16, 2018
US Performance Academy (USPA) and International Ski Racing Academy (ISRA) have partnered in order to provide a flexible and accessible educational opportunity for female ski racing athletes in middle and high school who want to pursue their goals of making a national team, or excelling in collegiate ski racing while being challenged academically. Through a combination of mastering fundamentals, directed free skiing, appropriate drills and drill courses, accredited & NCAA approved academics, and the opportunity to live and race in Europe, ISRA will have a tremendous impact on developing successful ski racers. The program’s ultimate goal is to become the “go to” feeder program for the national teams, creating a seamless transition from FIS and Junior level racers to competitors on the Nor Am, Europa Cup, and World Cup circuits.
ISRA is a full-time program with summer camps in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres with the competition period based in Europe. Through their experience coaching both the tech and speed events on the World Cup circuit, ISRA founders Chris Knight and Jeff Fergus have realized that ski racing is rapidly moving in a different direction. With 25 years of national team coaching experience, Knight and Fergus were head coaches for the two most successful American ski racers in history - Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso. They have been on staff for a combined; 7 Olympics, 12 World Championship teams and have been a part of over 50 World Cup victories. Keeping up with the radical evolution in technique and equipment, as well as the changes in approach to conditioning, is a major challenge for any program. Chris and Jeff have the experience, the insight, the connections and the proven track record to bring coaching to the next level.
“We are super excited to partner with USPA.” said Chris Knight, Co-founder of ISRA. “We have had a lot of inquiries from athletes who would like to find a way to reach their academic and ski racing dreams. Together, this partnership allows them to do that at an affordable price. Our fees, combined with USPA fees, offer a substantial discount on the ever increasing costs of academies resulting in less travel costs to races, an overseas cultural experience and fantastic training options throughout northern Italy.”
ISRA will disrupt the ski racing industry and raise the bar for ski athletes worldwide. Northern Italy is perfectly located to provide athletes with the necessary training conditions to be competitive against European racers. The Dolomites offer a wide variety of free skiing and training venues. Training on a variety of slopes makes an athlete more adaptable to different terrain and provides a higher level of comfort and familiarity on race day. Having the ability to choose a venue based on the snow, slope, and how it’s going to affect our desired goals for the day is a luxury that most academies and teams do not have.
Educational partner US Performance Academy is unlike any other school. Designed by athletes and educators, the approach specifically benefits driven students who are training, traveling, competing, and pushing to the next level. The online curriculum allows for a flexible school schedule and academic calendar. The support system keeps students involved, motivated, and on track to success. And the focus on the student-athlete’s future goals and aspirations opens up a doorway to future opportunities.
