4.3 Vivino Stars (50+ Reviews)

Here is an amazing offer to try something hard to get outside of Argentina. To the best of our knowledge, this Malbec has never entered the U.S. before and is reserved for locals in Argentina! Vivino implored Catena to send some up after blind tasting and here you go… The Appellation Agrelo Malbec 2018 is another example of why Wine Advocate calls Catena Zapata the “Argentina Winery of Reference.”

High altitude farming, rocky clay vineyards, and Malbec: these are the things that have made Catena Zapata world-famous, and they’re all on full display in their Appellation Agrelo Malbec 2018. The moderate climate and nutrient-poor soils that are the hallmarks of Agrelo produce Malbec wines that are powerful, but also poised and graceful. This 2018 Agrelo release is a gorgeous slice of true terroir at a reasonable price — perfectly meddling Malbec’s nose of enticing red fruits and sweet spices with its broad, muscular, plummy palate!
