The Malbec Argentino 2022 from Catena Zapata is a landmark expression of Argentine winemaking heritage, showcasing the splendour of old-vine, high-altitude Mendoza Malbec from the historic Angélica and Nicasia vineyards. In the glass, it commands attention with an intense, deep red hue and violet reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as plum, blackberry, and black cherry, accompanied by delicate hints of violets, warm spices, and subtle smoky notes. On the palate, the Malbec is full-bodied and velvety with a poised structure defined by polished tannins and vibrant high-altitude acidity that imparts freshness and longevity. Ripe fruit flavours meld harmoniously with nuances of dark chocolate, tobacco, and mineral accents that lend the wine depth and complexity, culminating in a long, powerful finish. The Malbec Argentino 2022 pairs superbly with grilled meats, hearty braises, or aged cheeses and represents the pinnacle of Catena Zapata's terroir craftsmanship.
