Catena Zapata Nicasia Malbec 2020

Named for the Nicasia family vineyard in Mendoza's Altamira district, this Catena Zapata single-vineyard Malbec highlights the calcareous soils of the sub-region, prized for adding tension and minerality to the variety's natural richness.

Deep violet-red, it shows black cherry, violet and a distinct stony minerality, with velvety tannins and a long, fresh finish that's more elegant than powerful.

Tasting notes: Malbec, 100%, single vineyard. Deep violet; black cherry and mineral edge; elegant, fresh finish.

Food pairing: Grilled lamb, empanadas, or hard sheep's cheese.
