Catena Zapata Alamos Malbec 2023

$23.00

The Catena Zapata Alamos Malbec 2023 is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous winemaking practices of the Catena family. Born from the intense mountain sunlight and pure snowmelt water of the Andes, this wine encapsulates the essence of its rugged, remote region. The Alamos Malbec 2020 boasts a deep purple colour with violet highlights, offering bright blackberry aromas complemented by light floral notes and a hint of toast. On the palate, it reveals a full yet soft and supple mouthfeel, with Flavors of black raspberry and currant mingled with sweet spice and a touch of leather. The finish is long and satisfying, showcasing well-integrated hints of brown spice and vanilla that add layers of complexity. This wine is a celebration of the unique terroir of Mendoza, cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1000 to 1400 m, where the grapes benefit from intense sunlight and cool evening temperatures.

LUCÍA VAIERETTI

“Alamos is such an exciting winery to be part of,” says winemaker Lucía Vaieretti. “It shows what Argentina and Mendoza wine can be. When I’m making wines, I’m trying to express the best things about our grapes and about each region.”

Lucía says her bond with Mendoza keeps growing. “This is a land of very bold qualities. We have sunshine and desert and our water comes from the snowmelt of our beautiful mountains,” she says. “People here really love our land.”

Lucía lives in Mendoza’s Uco Valley with her husband, Rodrigo Calatayud, who is also a winemaker. They have four young daughters and tend their own vineyard. “I love that my daughters get to grow up as I did, connected to the vines and our land,” Lucía says.
