Bodega Catena Zapata Angélica Zapata Malbec Alta from Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza is a profoundly expressive and elegant Malbec that celebrates high-altitude fruit purity and layered complexity, and this Angélica Zapata Malbec Alta 2021 immediately captivates with intense aromatics, rich colour and seamless integration of fruit and subtle oak influence.

The nose reveals blackberry, dark plum and violet with hints of cocoa and dried herbs, while the palate is medium to full bodied with finely tuned tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish that carries spice and mineral notes alongside juicy dark fruit. This Malbec is all about depth, poise and refined power.

It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, braised beef, smoky barbecued meats or rich mushroom dishes, and it also works wonderfully with aged cheeses and hearty stews. Serve at cellar temperature and enjoy a red that offers both sophistication and serious drinkability.
