Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata's Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec is a remarkable Argentinian wine. This exquisite, full-bodied vintage hails from high-altitude vineyards, resulting in a complexity of flavours. The elegant ruby hue introduces a nose of ripe berries with hints of spice and a touch of floral nuances. On the palate, the wine exhibits layers of intense black fruits, alongside dark chocolate, espresso, and a vein of minerality reflecting it's rich terroir. Its tannins are well-knit, leading to a long and harmonious finish. Overall, a splendid choice to pair with hearty meat dishes or to savour on its own.
