Nicasia Vineyard

2008 Mendoza Malbec

The Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec from the 2008 vintage is a striking red wine that captures the essence of Mendoza's unique terroir. This full-bodied wine boasts a high acidity, creating a bright and lively profile that beautifully balances its prominent fruit intensity. With notable tannins, it provides a firm structure that enhances its overall complexity. As a dry wine, it showcases the depth of flavors derived from the handpicked grapes grown in the esteemed Nicasia Vineyard, making it a remarkable expression of Argentinian winemaking. The rich layers of dark fruit flavors, combined with hints of spice and earthiness, create a delightful tasting experience that is both elegant and powerful.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
