The 2012 Malbec Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard is Malbec from the eponymous vineyard in Gualtallary close to 1,500 meters altitude. It fermented with some Viognier exclusively from the plots where the soil is rich in calcium carbonate. The vineyard is planted at high density, 12,000 plants per hectares. The fruit is riper than in 2011 (always relatively speaking!) with aromas of peach, red and black cherries with a spicy twist. The palate is really intense, with electric acidity and ultra-fine tannins. It ends very tasty and long. 4,000 bottles produced. Luis Gutiérrez – The Wine Advocate
Bright and fresh fruit with raspberry and blueberry character. Stone and concrete undertones. Full body, firm tannins and a tangy finish. Lemon undertones. From grapes grown in Gualtallary. Delicate finish. Drink or hold. James Suckling
