Energy and precision define the 2017 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec, with concentrated blackberry and dark plum layered over subtle spice and stony minerality. The palate is full but finely etched, its silk-sheathed yet firm tannins and vibrant acidity giving the wine a compact, serious structure that promises further complexity with time. Long and focused on the finish, this vintage shows a particularly refined balance for such depth and power.

Fortuna Terrae is a single‑parcel Malbec from Catena Zapata’s Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary (Tupungato, Uco Valley), grown on deep alluvial loam with limestone‑covered white stones at about 1,366 m altitude. The wine is prized for its aromatic, floral lift and spicy black‑fruit character, high natural acidity and chalky mineral texture from the high‑altitude terroir, with careful whole‑cluster cold maceration and aging in large French foudres and older oak to preserve elegance and ageability.
