TASTING NOTES
Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 2020 is a full-bodied Malbec produced from old vines in the Mendoza region of Argentina. It is the flagship wine of the pioneering family-owned Catena Zapata estate. Argentino is produced from old Malbec vines from two historic high-altitude vineyards. Angélica (920m abov sea level) and Nicasia (1,095m above sea level). Made from a meticulous selection of the best grapes from these two vineyards, this wine represents the Catena family`s attempt to produce an Argentine Malbec that can stand with the great wines of the world. "Perfumed and seductive nose of purple plums, blueberries, dried roses, violets, lemon zest, chocolate, truffles and cigar box. It’s full-bodied, yet so elegant and weightless. Seamless, finely knit tannins. Beautiful, lengthy finish. Try from 2024."James Sucking 2022
