Catena Zapata
Malbec Argentino 2017
Tastings, winery:
Cobos S/N, Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina
Vivino - 4.7
The Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino blends grapes from Angélica Vineyard in Lunlunta and Nicasia Vineyard in Altamira. It's a classical Malbec that fermented in 225- and 500-liter rolling oak fermentors and matured in French barrique for 18 months.
They have changed the image and also the blend for this wine, which is now all from old vines. The label shows the history of Malbec with four relevant women (including Madam Phylloxera!) from the 12th century to the rebirth in the 20th century.
