Catena Zapata Tinto Historico 2023

Catena Zapata Tinto Historico is a blend crafted from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, where the Andes' cooling influence preserves acidity and enhances aromatic complexity. This wine combines Malbec, Bonarda, and Petit Verdot, each contributing distinct characteristics. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to maintain fresh fruit expression, while a portion undergoes aging in French oak barrels, adding structure and depth. The result is a medium-bodied wine with vibrant red and dark fruit flavors, balanced by a subtle spice and a smooth finish. Ideal for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
