Catena Zapata
Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec
Aromas of sweet cassis and dark cherry reduction are ripe. These translate onto the palate, that is concentrated and layered with exotic spices, kirsch liquor, fresh violets and dark chocolate. This is powerful and voluptuous wine with gorgeous round tannins that burst on the long, mouth-coating, supple 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.
