Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec is a beautifully balanced wine that reflects the high-altitude terroir of Gualtallary. It opens with vibrant aromas of black cherries, raspberries, and floral notes, layered with hints of black tea and dried herbs. On the palate, it delivers a silky attack with dense, sweet tannins and a fresh, elegant mid-palate that harmonizes power and fruit. Juicy yet structured, it shows depth and minerality, with a long, refined finish that speaks to its aging potential. This vintage is approachable now with decanting but will evolve gracefully over the next decade, making it a superb example of Mendoza Malbec at its finest.
About Winery
Bodega Catena Zapata, founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena in Mendoza, Argentina, is one of the country’s most influential wineries. Initially rooted in traditional Italian winemaking, the estate was transformed under Nicolás Catena Zapata, who introduced modern techniques and championed Malbec at high altitudes in the Andean foothills. His pioneering work in the 1980s and 1990s—exploring extreme terroirs like the Adrianna Vineyard at nearly 5,000 feet—helped elevate Argentine wine to global recognition. Today, the winery remains family-run, with Nicolás’s daughter Laura Catena continuing the legacy, and it is celebrated for its role in resurrecting Malbec and establishing Argentina as a world-class wine region.
