Nicolas Catena Malbec 2021 (0,75 L)

Catena Malbec by Catena Zapata from the Argentine wine region Mendoza is an excellent, grape varietal and silky red wine.

In the glass, this wine shimmers in a strong ruby red with purple highlights. The fruity bouquet is dominated by aromas of juicy blackberries and ripe heart cherries - perfectly accompanied by spicy notes of coffee, tobacco and some black pepper. On the palate, this Argentinian red wine convinces with a wonderful harmony between the juicy fruit fullness and silky texture. The fine-grained tannins are perfectly integrated into the full-bodied body and accompany you to the pleasantly long finale.

Vinification

The Malbec grapes for this red wine come from three different vineyards: Lunlunta, El Cepillo and Gualtallary.

After careful harvesting of the grapes, the harvested material is first cold mashed in the wine cellar of Catena Zapata for 5 days at a temperature of about 9 degrees Celsius. This is followed by 16-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, this wine is macerated for 22 days. When maceration is complete, this red wine is placed in wooden barrels and matures in these for a total of 12 to 14 months.

Food recommendation

We recommend this dry red wine from Argentina with grilled red meat, lamb and game dishes, pasta with strong sauces or spicy cheeses.
