About Alta Malbec

Catena Zapata’s Catena Alta Malbec is a high-altitude Mendoza classic, blending old-vine Malbec from the family’s historic vineyards in Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley to create a deeply colored, layered wine. It typically shows rich black plum and blackberry fruit with violet, spice and subtle oak, carried by fine tannins and lively acidity that reflect the cool nights and diverse alluvial soils of these elevated sites. Structured yet polished, it’s crafted for both immediate pleasure and graceful mid-term aging.
