"A great Malbec by Catena Zapata, rated 99/100 by the famous James Suckling, limited quantity!"

Eye

Deep purple color, clean and brilliant.

Nose

Intense and seductive, notes of blackberry, liquorice, dried herbs, fresh violet and spices, with a hint of roasting.

Mouth

Textured and elegant, fine tannins, aromas of ripe and tasty fruits with floral subtleties, ample and complex, solid structure, great aromatic persistence on the finish, pleasantly mineral, probably due to the limestone terroir of the Adrianna vineyard.

Expert opinion

Wine rated (guide 2022) 97+/100

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2019 Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae presents aromas of herbs and spices intermixed with flowers that prove harmonious and highly integrated. It comes from a part of the vineyard whose soils are slightly deeper, with limestone at 70 centimeters. This parcel produces very aromatic, lighter, floral wines with fine tannins, chalky minerality and good grip. Fermented with 100% whole bunches and aged in oak foudre for 18 months. 2023-2030
