Item Description
Nicolás Catena Zapata is made from a meticulous vine selection in the best lots of the Catena family’s estate vineyards.
These Zapata vines are carefully hand tended and produce extremely low yields. The grapes are micro-fermented in new French oak barriques and the wine is then aged for 24 months in new French oak.
Description: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec. The Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was sourced from the lime, clay soils of Lot 3 in the La Piramide Vineyard (planted in 1983). Even cooler March temperatures than 1997 during the day, with averages of 17.6º C, and very cold nights, with lows averaging 11.5º C, allowed for the development of complex aromatics, a rich middle palate and elegant, finely grained tannins. The Malbec fruit was sourced from the sandy soils of Lot 3 in the Adrianna Vineyard (planted in 1992). This unique high altitude microclimate at almost 5,000 feet elevation, had warmer than normal pre-harvest temperatures for April, with monthly averages at 18.4°C. The result was rich, fleshy Malbec fruit with a supple texture and velvety finish.
