Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Cherry color with garnet reflections, where it has a medium - high layer intensity. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

On the nose, it is the representation of Malbec taken to perfection. Aromas of red and black fruit are mixed with the distinctive spicy touches of the same variety.

TASTE:

Majestic mouth, where a subtlety filled with a unique stature will not leave you indifferent. Tannins present but incredibly fresh. Long, fresh and persistent finish.

Perfect with meats of all kinds and cooked, cheeses, pastas and sausages.

Catena wines are the result of special cuts from different vineyards of the Catena family, made by Laura Catena, fourth generation of winegrowers, and Alejandro Vigil, Catena Zapata's Chief Winemaker. Although Catena wines can be consumed at the time of their launch, they have shown to have wonderful aging potential, for between ten and twenty years. After several decades of study and research of the different high altitude microclimates of Mendoza, the Catena family has identified the best areas for planting the family's vineyards. This wine, cut from these historic vineyards, is a Malbec with a unique character, excellent typicality, balance and concentration.
