The Nicolas Catena Zapata 2018 is a stunning representation of the potential of Argentine wine. A deep, rich ruby red in colour, this wine immediately entices the senses with bold aromas of ripe blackberries, black currants, and dark chocolate. As the wine opens up, notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco emerge, adding layers of complexity to the bouquet.
On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of fruit and oak. The dark fruit flavours carry through, accompanied by a touch of spice and a subtle earthiness. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a long and elegant finish.
Produced in the exceptional 2018 vintage by the renowned Bodega Catena Zapata, this wine showcases the best of what Argentina has to offer. It is a true expression of the land and the passion of those who crafted it. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come.
