Description
Adrianna Vineyard River Stones - Bodega Catena Zapata
With remarkable ratings of 99 points from Robert Parker and 98 from James Suckling, the 2019 Adrianna Vineyard River Stones is a standout expression of Malbec from one of Argentina's premier wineries. This exquisite wine derives its name from a unique plot filled with oval white stones, remnants of an ancient riverbed. These stones enhance drainage and help the vines adapt to extreme temperatures, absorbing daytime heat and releasing it at night, thus nurturing the grapes to perfection.
This vintage showcases the essence of Gualtallary, located near the Seco River. The wine's north-facing exposure ensures optimal ripeness, even in cooler years like 2019. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of power and elegance, with notes of violets, minerality, and subtle spices. The tannins are abundant yet finely textured, leaving a chalky sensation on the finish. With an excellent freshness, this wine is both approachable now and worthy of aging for up to 20 years.
For an unforgettable dining experience, pair this luxurious Malbec with grilled lamb chops, enhanced with rosemary and garlic. Its robust flavors also complement rich dishes such as beef tenderloin in a red wine reduction, or even a decadent dark chocolate dessert, creating a symphony of tastes that elevate any occasion. Enjoy at a serving temperature of 16 to 18°C for the best experience. Indulge in the legacy of Catena Zapata with this exquisite wine that celebrates the artistry of Argentine viticulture.
