Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2022 is one of Mendoza’s most compelling high-altitude Malbecs, drawn from the iconic Adrianna Vineyard at 1,450 meters above sea level. Known for its remarkable concentration, precision, and structure, it reflects the pioneering spirit that has made Catena Zapata a benchmark producer in Argentina and beyond.

Tasting Notes
This wine typically shows a deep, intense color with impressive depth in the glass. The nose is expressive and layered, offering dark berries, plum, and floral notes, with subtle mineral, spice, and earthy nuances from the vineyard’s high-altitude site. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with concentrated black fruit, vibrant freshness, firm but polished tannins, and a long, structured finish. Its balance and density suggest exceptional aging potential, and it can comfortably develop over 20 to 30 years, gaining further complexity with time.

Production
Adrianna Vineyard sits in one of Mendoza’s most elevated and distinctive terroirs, where cool temperatures, strong sunlight, and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for deeply expressive Malbec. The extreme altitude helps preserve freshness while encouraging small berries, naturally boosting concentration and tannic structure. Vinification is crafted to highlight purity, precision, and the vineyard’s unique character.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with richly flavored dishes such as grilled ribeye, slow-braised lamb, beef short rib, or game with earthy sauces. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses and truffle-based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully.
