Catena Zapata, Gualtallary Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec, Tupungato 2018

Catena Zapata works with specific parcels from their Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary – in this case, Lot 6. Fermented in French barrels and aged for 18 months, this Malbec presents a typical profile for a cold area. It offers sweet and sour cherry and violet aromas with hints of lavender and sage; the attractive perfume is underlined by the oak. The nuanced profile features a palate of fine, well-integrated, juicy tannins made more expressive by salinity, along with a lengthy raspberry aftertaste.
