Catena Zapata
Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino
This Malbec has a bright bouquet of mocha, sandalwood and crème de cassis with blueberry compote. The mouthfeel is rather voluptuous, yet slightly tannic as the wine evolves into displaying dark fruit flavours that connect with tar, graphite, and Turkish coffee. Round and generous, the silky texture glides through the mid-palate and leaves a lasting impression on the finish.
Description
Catena Zapata
Catena Zapata, founded in 1902 in Mendoza, Argentina, is a legendary name in the world of wine, credited with elevating Malbec to international prominence. Under the visionary leadership of Nicolás Catena and later his daughter, Laura, the winery pioneered high-altitude viticulture, particularly in the Andean foothills, redefining the potential of Argentine terroir. The Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino, one of its flagship wines, epitomizes this legacy. Crafted from old-vine vineyards like Adrianna and Nicasia, it showcases the profound depth, elegance, and complexity of Malbec, with rich black fruit, floral notes, and a signature minerality. Globally acclaimed, the wine has cemented Catena Zapata’s reputation as a benchmark producer, placing Argentine Malbec among the world’s finest expressions of red wine.
