Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

The deep soils and high altitude impart freshness and delicate flower aromas. Very aromatic, with spicy black fruit notes and moderate acidity. Fortuna Terrae is elegant, rounded, and smooth. This has a delicate nose of blue fruit and red berries, with a highly floral character marked by violets and a subtle touch of ink. The palate is medium-bodied, with chalky, attractive tannins and a fine thread of blue fruit that brings both depth and salinity. Chewy yet elegant. Made with 100% whole bunch. This comes from Adrianna vineyard from a 5-hectare parcel that has large boulders covered in calcium carbonate. The 2023 Malbec Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae is expressive, with notes of wild herbs, lavender, violet, fresh plum, red fruit, cherry and a touch of huacatay. It has gained complexity relative to previous years. The palate shows richness, tension and juiciness, with fine energy and a chalky trace. It is long and fruit-driven, with layered depth. The 2023 is a refined interpretation of the vintage, defined by its delicate energy. Grown in sandy loam with underlying calcium carbonate, the 2023 Malbec Fortuna Terrae Adrianna Vineyard is made from less-stressed vines that exude mineral and floral exuberance, high-toned acidity, and vibrant red fruit. With gentle extraction, winemaker Alejandro Vigil is coaxing silky texture and moderate structure out of the grapes, a finessed undertaking from 1992-planted massal vines that's balanced from start to finish. It will age with ease. Hold and drink 2028-2035.
