About this wine

Malbec Argentino is Catena Zapata’s dramatic expression of old-vine Malbec from the Nicasia and Angélica vineyards in Mendoza. The 2022 shows an intense nose of violets, plum and blackberry with subtle spice and cocoa, while the palate is dense and layered, packed with ripe black fruit yet lifted by freshness and mineral grip. It is a showpiece wine that captures both the richness of Mendoza and the finesse possible at high altitude, built to age but already deeply impressive in its youth.

Tasting Note

A very powerful Malbec with a perfumed nose of violets, blueberries, blackberries and spice; the palate is full-bodied and concentrated, showing layers of dark fruit, fine tannins and a long, refined, graphite-tinged finish.

In the glass

Opaque violet-black core with a thick, staining rim.

In the nose

Violets, ripe plum and blackberry with cocoa, sweet spice and a touch of smoke.

On the palate

Velvety, deep and structured, with concentrated black fruit, polished tannins and a very long, savoury finish.

Catena Zapata

Catena Zapata has been instrumental in redefining Argentine wine, particularly high-altitude Malbec and Chardonnay. The Catena Alta range comes from carefully selected, high-elevation parcels that give concentration, lift and a strong sense of Andean terroir. The style combines ripe New World fruit with bright acidity and refined oak handling.
