2022 Catena Zapata Argentino Malbec

Elegant and perfumed nose with violets, spices, fresh blackberries, blueberries and touches of chiles, chocolate, cigar box and white pepper. Super juicy on the palate with compact, fine tannins and an extremely long finish.

A worldclass wine, the 2022 ‘Argentino’ comes from vines that are more than 100 years of age. Given roughly 20% whole cluster ferentation, vines from this wine are set on a range of soils including sand, gravel, stones and clayloam. Stored in a combination of small and large format French oak barrels this delivers flavors of mocha, tar, anise and wild huckleberry that meld well with its rich, voluptuous texture and bright, underlying acidity.
