WINEMAKING NOTES

as well as a selection of parcels too small to successfully vinify separately

but ultimately giving us wines with great flavour

The fermentation in steel and then ageing in steel and Slavonian oak barrels helps to emphasise the fruit

Catena Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec 2021 chateau-potensac with shallow poor soilsThe Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino shows a saturated dark violet colour with ruby reflections; the nose offers cassis, blueberries and violets, along with a strong suggestion of soil tones. It combines density and sweetness on the one hand, with gripping, lightly saline flavours of mocha, dark berries, spice, and minerals; a palate staining finish dominated by sweet black and blue fruits. Pairs well with lamb chops, beef tenderloin, and goat cheese.
