The 2022 Catena Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina is a true expression of the region's terroir. Its deep, ruby red colour hints at the intensity of flavours to come. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, with subtle notes of vanilla, tobacco, and cocoa. On the palate, this full-bodied wine delights with a smooth and velvety texture, accompanied by flavours of ripe berries, dark chocolate, and a touch of spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a long and elegant finish. Crafted by the skilled winemakers at Bodegas Esmeralda, this Malbec showcases the perfect balance between fruit and oak, making it a true standout among its peers. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to allow for further complexity to develop.
