Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino Magnum 2019 150cl in Wooden Gift Box 14% ABV

Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino 150cl presented in a branded wooden gift box

Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino is made from a meticulous vine selection in the best lots of the Catena family’s estate vineyards. These Zapata vines are carefully hand tended and produce extremely low yields. The grapes are micro-fermented in new French oak barriques and the wine is then aged for 24 months in new French oak. This wine is made in very limited quantities.

A nose of cassis, blueberries and violets, along with a strong suggestion of soil tones. It combines density and sweetness on the one hand, with gripping, lightly saline flavours of mocha, dark berries, spice, and minerals; a palate-staining finish dominated by sweet black and blue fruits.

99 points, “This is made from over 100-year-old vineyards and offers blackberries with blue fruit and dark chocolate. Shows bark and black truffle undertones, too. Tight and more focused than in past vintages. The quality of the tannins is more precise and fine.” – James Suckling
