Catena Zapata L’Esploratore La Rioja: A Exceptional Wine That Change Every Glass
The Catena Zapata L’Esploratore Malbec 100% comes from Los Quiroga, a vineyard located 1,850 meters above sea level in the La Rioja region of Argentina. With 11 years of age and grown in deep, poor, and sandy soils, this Malbec captures the pure essence of the Argentine terroir, where altitude and unique conditions contribute to its distinctive character. Its limited production, with only 45 hectares of vineyard, ensures exceptional quality in every bottle.
On the nose, this wine presents a wonderful blend of cherries and strawberries, combined with wet stones and dried spices, typical of the La Rioja terroir. A refreshing herbal touch complements this aromatic profile, while on the palate it is firm, smooth, and elegant. The tight tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long finish, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and smoky notes.
This Malbec is the ideal companion for a wide range of beef cuts. Its robust and elegant body enhances flavors when paired with a juicy bife de chorizo, rib-eye, or t-bone steak grilled to perfection. It also pairs wonderfully with smoked beef ribs, filet mignon with red wine sauce, or more sophisticated dishes like herb-roasted lamb or pheasant with fruit sauce. For an even more gourmet experience, try it with filet mignon and truffled mashed potatoes. A wine that will elevate every dish and create memorable moments.
The Catena Zapata L’Esploratore Malbec is a true gem, perfect to enjoy now or to cellar and age over time. A wine by Alejandro Vigil that reflects the very best of La Rioja
