Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2021, Premium High Altitude Argentine Malbec Wine
Discover the exquisite Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae Malbec 2021, a premium Argentine red wine crafted from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the prestigious Gualtallary District of Mendoza’s Uco Valley. This high-altitude Malbec benefits from deep loamy soils rich in native grasses, limestone, and white stones, fostering a unique terroir that imparts vibrant acidity and delicate floral aromas.
Fortuna Terrae, Latin for "luck of the land", reflects the fortunate blend of nature and care behind this exclusive wine. The vineyard’s elevation at 4,482 feet (1,366 metres) and the careful cold maceration process (50% whole cluster, 3-7 days below 50ºF) ensure intense aromatic complexity, with spicy black fruit notes and a smooth, rounded palate.
Aged 14-18 months in French oak barrels (1-2 years old), this Malbec offers elegance and balance, ideal for collectors who enjoy wines with moderate acidity and floral nuances that improve beautifully over time. Perfect for fine dining, wine enthusiasts, or special occasions.
Elevate your wine collection with this rare Fortuna Terrae high altitude Malbec 2021, a sophisticated choice for lovers of premium Argentine wines.
A Legacy of Excellence from Mendoza, Argentina
Founded in 1902 by Italian immigrant Nicola Catena, the Catena Zapata winery has remained family-owned for over four generations. As one of the few major Argentine wine producers still in Argentine hands, the Catena family has played a key role in shaping the future of winemaking in South America.
In the 1980s, Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata transformed the industry by pioneering high-altitude vineyards in the Andes foothills of Mendoza. His groundbreaking work, especially with Malbec, put Argentine wines on the global map. By the mid-1990s, his daughter, Dr. Laura Catena, joined the mission, continuing the family’s tradition of innovation and excellence.
Today, Catena Zapata holds more 100-point wine ratings than any other winery in South America and is globally recognised for quality and sustainability. Certified by Bodegas de Argentina, the winery also leads in research on terroir, soil, and historic grape clones.
