{"product_id":"catena-zapata-malbec-argentino","title":"Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Malbec shows Argentina's grape variety in one of its densest forms. Catena Zapata marries two top vineyards from the Región del Nuevo Cuyo here: the grapes from the Angelica vineyard bring juicy fullness and dark fruit, while the higher-altitude Nicasia plots contribute mineral depth and structure. This combination creates a Malbec with unusual complexity for the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine matures for 18 months in new French barriques – an aging process that gives the Malbec refined tannins and roasted notes without masking the fruit. The nose reveals blackberry, cassis, and a hint of violet, underpinned by vanilla and a fine smoky note from the wood. Dense and velvety on the palate, with ripe, well-integrated tannins and a long, spicy finish reminiscent of black pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest served at \u003cstrong\u003e16 to 18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideally decanted an hour beforehand. The wine pairs with Argentine asado, braised beef, or aged hard cheese – a Malbec for a quiet evening for two or as the highlight of a menu with red meat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catena Zapata","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":53616661430608,"sku":"VJ3715-2023","price":95.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/630030_0000_1808_ohneJG.png?v=1789486473","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/catena-zapata-malbec-argentino","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
