2022 Bodegas Catena Zapata Adrianna Mundus Bacillus Terrae

The 2022 Bodegas Catena Zapata Adrianna Mundus Bacillus Terrae is one of Argentina’s most sought-after high-altitude Malbecs, sourced from the celebrated Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Mendoza. Known for its remarkable precision, depth, and mineral character, it stands as a benchmark wine that helped redefine what Argentine Malbec can achieve at the very top level.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, concentrated ruby-purple hue. The nose is layered and expressive, offering dark berries, violets, graphite, crushed stones, and subtle spice, with a cool, lifted character that reflects its mountain origin. On the palate, it is powerful yet finely tuned, with dense black fruit, mineral drive, firm but polished tannins, and striking freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with excellent structure for aging; this is a wine that can develop beautifully over many years, gaining complexity and nuance with time.

Production
This wine comes from the Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, one of Mendoza’s highest and most distinctive terroirs, where rocky, calcareous soils and cool Andean nights shape the wine’s intense flavor and pronounced mineral edge. The fruit is harvested by hand and vinified with great care to preserve purity, texture, and site expression, resulting in a Malbec of exceptional balance and detail.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with richly flavored dishes such as grilled ribeye, lamb chops, slow-braised short ribs, or game meats. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended to allow the wine to खुल fully and show its aromatic complexity.
