About this wine
Catena Zapata's Argentino Malbec showcases the distinctive character of Tupungato, a high-altitude appellation in Mendoza renowned for producing world-class red wines. This full-bodied expression of Malbec captures the region's terroir, cool mountain nights and intense sunlight, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity. The herbaceous and spicy character reflects both the varietal's natural profile and the careful winemaking practices that define the Catena Zapata philosophy.
A dry red wine with medium acidity and medium-plus alcohol, this Malbec pairs beautifully with lamb, beef, and game birds, as well as aged and blue cheeses. It also complements mushroom-forward dishes, charcuterie, and tomato-based preparations enhanced with aromatic spices. Whether served in a fine dining setting or at a private gathering, this Argentine Malbec delivers the elegance and food compatibility expected from Mendoza's most respected producers.
