Bodega Catena Zapata Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec from Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza is a high-altitude masterpiece that combines intensity, purity and terroir expression, and this Catena Alta Historic Rows Malbec 2022 immediately captivates with its deep colour, layered aromatics and compelling presence that promises both structure and finesse.

The nose shows blackberry, dark plum and violet with hints of cracked pepper, dried herbs and subtle oak spice, while the palate is medium to full bodied with fine, polished tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish that carries mineral notes alongside rich dark fruit. This Malbec is all about balance, clarity and expressive complexity.

It is a superb partner to grilled lamb, barbecued beef, smoky sausages or aged cheeses, and it also works beautifully with rich tomato-based dishes and hearty stews. Serve at cellar temperature and enjoy a red that delivers both depth and beautiful drinkability.
