More info

This Cabernet Sauvignon is blended from grapes grown at altitude in the province of Mendoza, on small vineyard parcels that are renowned and sought-after for the aromatic power of their wines. After ageing in French oak barrels for 18 months, this purple wine with dark red highlights offers up a superb bouquet of dark fruit, sweet spice and fresh herbs. On the palate, these aromatic notes are enhanced by hints of leather and tobacco and the wine’s creaminess is balanced by its defined tannins and pleasing acidity. Drink it with a local dish that won’t be overwhelmed by its power.

About the Producer Catena Zapata

Although the Catena Zapata is in Argentina, its roots lie in Italy. In the early 20th century, the Catena family fled the famine in Italy, settled in Argentina and established a vineyard. It has been handed down through the generations and has seen a number of experiments over time. Nicolas Catena was the first person to introduce European vine growing techniques to Argentina and was a trailblazer in the vinification of Malbec and growing vines at altitude. The domaine owes its sound reputation to the cultivation and vinification of top-flight Malbecs and its innovative high-altitude Chardonnay production.
