Catena Zapata Malbec is known for its complex and intense flavors that balance ripe fruit with earthy and spicy notes.
Expect a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry, often accompanied by hints of violet, vanilla, and chocolate. The high-altitude vineyards contribute to a distinctive minerality and acidity, providing structure and balance to the wine. Oak aging adds subtle notes of spice, cedar, and tobacco. Tannins are typically firm but well-integrated, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

Serving Temperature
Serve at a slightly cooler than room temperature (around 60-65°F or 15-18°C) to enhance the fruit flavors and acidity.
Decanting
Decanting is highly recommended, especially for older vintages, as it allows the wine to open up and release its complex aromas. It also helps to soften the tannins.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Besides Asado, Catena Zapata Malbec pairs well with other grilled or roasted meats, hearty stews, and rich cheeses. Consider dishes with earthy flavors, such as mushrooms or truffles, to complement the wine's complexity.
