Adrianna Vineyard Malbec: South America’s Defining Red

The ZAPATA ADRIANNA VINEYARD MBT Malbec is an icon of the New World, originating from the famed Adrianna Vineyard high in Gualtallary, Mendoza. Often dubbed the ‘Grand Cru of South America,’ this wine embodies the pursuit of perfection, showcasing the unique influence of extreme altitude and limestone-rich soils on the Malbec grape.

Tasting Notes (The Expert View)

• Colour: A saturated, deep purple, almost opaque, with a bright violet rim.
• Aroma: Highly complex, offering intense dark fruit-blackcurrant, mulberry, and wild blueberry-lifted by ethereal notes of violet, gunflint, and graphite minerality.
• Taste: The palate is powerfully concentrated yet beautifully elegant. Silky texture is underpinned by a fresh, vibrant acidity and exceptionally polished tannins. The long, persistent finish echoes with tertiary notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and wet chalk.

Serving & Food Match

For best results, this wine must be decanted for at least an hour and a half and served slightly below room temperature (16-18°C).

• Dedicated Food Matches: Traditional Sunday Roast Lamb, Slow-cooked Beef Cheek, Aged hard cheeses like Mature Cheddar or Stilton.
• Longevity: Built to last, it will reward patient cellaring for up to two decades.
