Description

Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors offered by the Angelica Zapata Malbec, a testament to the artistry of Catena Zapata winery. Hailing from the esteemed Mendoza region of Argentina, this Malbec is a proud representation of the area's terroir and winemaking expertise. As a traditional-style red wine, it embodies the character and depth that only a carefully crafted Malbec can provide.

The Angelica Zapata Malbec is born from high-altitude vineyards that benefit from the region's unique climate. The combination of intense sunlight, cool nights, and well-draining soils cultivates grapes with exceptional flavor concentration and aromatic complexity. The resulting wine is a symphony of dark fruit notes such as black plum and blackberry, intertwined with delicate hints of violet and spice. The wine's time in oak barrels lends subtle vanilla and toast undertones, adding to its layered complexity.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and displays a harmonious balance of ripe tannins and bright acidity, leading to a long, smooth finish that lingers with pleasure. The 13.5% alcohol provides structure and warmth that complements its intense flavors and aromas. Decant this beauty for around 30 minutes before serving at 18°C to unlock its full potential. The Angelica Zapata Malbec is more than just a wine; it’s an experience, a journey through the sun-drenched vineyards of Mendoza. Its robust structure allows for an ideal pairing with rich, flavorful dishes. Imagine savoring this alongside a juicy grilled steak or a slow-cooked lamb shank, where its bold profile can truly shine. It also holds its own against hearty pasta dishes, particularly those with red meat or mushroom-based sauces. This bottle of Angelica Zapata is not just about what's in the glass but also the sense of occasion it creates. It's a great choice for a cozy evening in or a special dinner gathering. Elevate your dining experience and indulge in the excellence of Argentine winemaking with this elegant red.
