Lifted floral tones and dark berry fruit define Catena Zapata’s 2022 Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec, where violets and ripe blackberries meet a vivid streak of spice and gentle heat. Blue-fruited depth, hints of cocoa and tobacco leaf, and a subtle peppery edge give the wine both polish and personality, finishing long, pure and very focused.

Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec (often labeled Malbec Argentino) is Catena Zapata’s flagship old‑vine, 100% Malbec, sourced primarily from the historic Angélica and high‑altitude Nicasia vineyards in Mendoza. Crafted by Alejandro Vigil and team with long, cool fermentations and extended aging in French oak, it’s conceived as an icon wine that marries dense, dark fruit and floral aromatics with mineral, saline notes, expressing both the pre‑phylloxera massal selection of Malbec and the contrasting terroirs of Lunlunta and the Uco Valley.
