| Description |
| The 2018 Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard, from a vineyard planted in Altamira in 1996 from an old massal selection, has contained ripeness, reflecting the less warm vintage (after 2017). The grapes were picked very early but with good ripeness because of the low yields in a very dry year. It fermented in open-top barrels with 100% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in 500-liter oak barrels. It's a balanced and elegant Malbec with some restraint and a very fine thread in the palate, with really fine tannins. |
| Tasting notes |
| This wine shines in the glass in a bright ruby red with purple highlights. On the nose, this red wine presents a very complex bouquet with aromas of juicy black cherries, ripe plums - perfectly accompanied by nuances of fresh herbs, tobacco and a hint of minerality. On the palate, this Argentine red wine impresses with a vital fruit fullness, which harmonizes wonderfully with the rich body and the powerful tannin structure. The dense texture clings to the strong body without being intrusive. With a wonderfully long finish, this wine concludes harmoniously. |
