Graceful at first sip then increasingly powerful, the 2021 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec layers red cherry and raspberry coulis with violet, hibiscus and gentle spice, all laced through a taut, stony backbone. The whole-bunch ferment brings a lifted, savory edge, while fine, firm tannins and notes of dark chocolate and graphite carry through a long, precise finish that shows this vintage’s remarkable energy and depth.

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.
