Adrianna Vineyard River Stones 2019: The Supreme Jewel of Catena Zapata
With exceptional ratings of 99 points from Robert Parker and 98 points from James Suckling, the 2019 Adrianna Vineyard River Stones stands as a remarkable Malbec from one of Argentina’s most prestigious wineries. This special vintage, sourced from a unique plot filled with oval white stones from an ancient riverbed, showcases a profound expression of the terroir. These stones improve drainage and help the vines adapt to the extreme temperatures by absorbing daytime heat and releasing it during the cooler nights, creating the perfect environment for grape cultivation.
The 2019 vintage captures the essence of Gualtallary, located near the Seco River, with its north-facing exposure, ensuring ideal ripening conditions, even during cooler years like 2019. On the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced blend of power and elegance, with notes of violets, minerality, and subtle spices. The tannins are rich but finely textured, leaving a chalky sensation on the finish. With excellent freshness, this wine is approachable now and has the potential to age beautifully for up to 20 years.
For an unforgettable culinary experience, pair this luxurious Malbec with grilled lamb chops, seasoned with rosemary and garlic. It also pairs wonderfully with rich dishes like beef tenderloin in a red wine reduction or a decadent dark chocolate dessert, creating an extraordinary symphony of flavors. Serve at 16 to 18°C for the ultimate tasting experience.
Indulge in the legacy of Catena Zapata with this extraordinary wine that celebrates the art of Argentine viticulture.
