Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2019

This wine is a true expression of the unique terroir of the Adrianna vineyard and the exceptional winemaking skills of Bodega Catena Zapata.

• This malbec boasts aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and violet, with flavours of dark fruit, spice, and mineral notes
• It has a full-body, silky smooth texture with firm tannins

Malbec's dark fruit and spice flavours can pair wonderfully with a perfectly grilled steak. The firm tannins help cut through the richness of the meat. And the wine's fruitiness complement the flavours of the meat. A dark chocolate cake or mousse, can pair with the wine's dark fruit flavours and add a touch of sweetness.
