Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino

Catena Zapata · Mendoza · Argentina

Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino is an red wine from Argentina, in the Mendoza region (Western Argentina, in the foothills of the Andes about 1,000km west of Buenos Aires.), made principally from Malbec. The high-altitude single-vineyard Malbec that proved Argentina's signature grape could make world-class wine.

In character, this core tier delivers the classic malbec profile — blackberry, plum, chocolate, violet — with the structural stamp of Mendoza and a high-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
