Description

From the esteemed Bodega Catena Zapata, this 'Vinho Fino Tinto Seco' is a testament to the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina. Grown at altitudes between 800 and 940 meters above sea level in the areas of Lujan de Cuyo (Agrelo), where the vines benefit from unique microclimates. The wine is a blend of mature red grapes, resulting in a dry, enjoyable experience. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it encapsulates the vibrancy and complexity of Argentine winemaking.

This is not just a bottle of wine; it's an invitation to taste the terroir of Mendoza. Imagine yourself amidst the Andes Mountains, where the sun shines intensely, and the cool nights preserve the grapes' acidity. This unique combination of factors imparts a distinct character to the wine.

The aromas are predominantly fruity, with hints of red berries dominating the nose, that makes a pleasant wine to drink. On the palate, the wine is dry, with a refreshing acidity and soft tannins. This 'Vinho Fino Tinto Seco' is ideal for pairing with a wide array of dishes. Its dryness and fruit-forward profile make it a great partner for grilled meats, especially Argentine Asado. It also pairs well with pasta dishes, hard cheeses, and empanadas. If you prefer something lighter, it's equally enjoyable with a simple salad or grilled vegetables.

For a perfect serving, chill it to around 16°C. This temperature will allow the wine's aromas to fully express themselves and enhance the overall drinking experience.
