Experience the essence of Argentina's high-altitude terroirs with Bodega Catena Zapata's High Mountain Vines Malbec 2022. Crafted from 100% Malbec grapes sourced from select high-altitude vineyards, this wine reflects the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the Catena family.

Vineyard Origins:

  • Lunlunta Vineyard: Located at 3,018 ft (920 m) elevation, with loamy clay topsoil and rounded rocks beneath, contributing soft, sweet textures.

  • El Cepillo Vineyard: Situated at 3,593 ft (1,090 m) elevation, featuring loam-sandy soil with thick calcareous layers, imparting bright acidity.

  • Gualtallary Vineyard: At 4,757 ft (1,450 m) elevation, characterized by gravel and limestone soils, offering explosive floral aromatics and concentrated structure.

Vinification:

The winemaking process begins with a five-day cold maceration at 48ºF (8.8ºC) to extract aromas, followed by fermentation lasting approximately 10–16 days, with a total maceration period of 19–22 days. The wine is aged for 11–13 months in French oak barrels, utilizing a mix of first, second, and third-use barrels, depending on the vineyard and vintage.

Tasting Notes:

  • Aroma: Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha.

  • Palate: A rich, concentrated mouthfeel highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries, complemented by a touch of leather and cinnamon.

  • Finish: Well-integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a flinty minerality provide exceptional length to the finish.

Food Pairing:

This Malbec pairs beautifully with roast turkey, grilled steak, salmon, and pasta with red sauce, enhancing a variety of culinary experiences.
