NICOLAS CATENA ZAPATA MALBEC ARGENTINO 750 ml

Discover the Nicolas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino, a captivating red wine from Argentina's high-altitude vineyards. Its profound violet shade draws you in, promising depth before the first pour. Swirl and savor an arresting array of ripe blackberries, shadowy dark cherries, and delicate floral violets, laced with subtle cocoa, graphite, and vanilla nuances from oak influence.

This Argentinian Malbec delivers a robust presence softened by exceptional poise. Flavors cascade in rich layers—plum and cassis weaving through warm baking spices—across a texture as smooth as velvet. Fresh acidity keeps it vibrant, while tannins meld seamlessly, culminating in an extended, graceful close that echoes the region's renowned power and subtlety.

Crafted in Mendoza during the 2022 vintage, it thrives on the contrast of sun-soaked days and chilly evenings, fostering ripe concentration from restrained yields. The result mirrors the tenacity of elevated terrains, yielding a bottle of profound equilibrium and character at 13.50% ABV in a standard 750 ml size.

James Suckling awarded it 98 points, with Tim Atkin close behind at 94, affirming its elite standing among Malbecs. For the table, it shines alongside seared ribeye from the grill, succulent lamb chops, or earthy roasted wild mushrooms. Let aged wheels like Manchego or Gouda amplify its intricate layers—"a perfect match to enhance the wine's complexity."

Whether marking a special evening or exploring premium reds, the Nicolas Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino stands ready to impress. Its dry profile (sweetness level 01) invites contemplation sip by sip, bridging everyday indulgence with collector-worthy finesse. Secure this Mendoza gem and let Argentina's peaks fill your glass.
