Catena Alta Malbec 21

Catena Zapata's 'Alta' tier is where the family's commitment to terroir-driven Malbec really shows. From high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza (1,450-1,550 meters), where the cool nights and intense UV create extraordinary depth of flavor and acidity, the 2021 is a benchmark: dark plum, violet, blueberry, dark chocolate, and a long, structured finish. This is Malbec as a serious, cellar-worthy wine.
