Description

DV Catena Nicasia Vineyard Malbec 2021 is an elegant and complex red wine crafted by Catena Zapata, showcasing the exceptional character of the renowned Nicasia Vineyard located in Altamira, San Carlos, Mendoza. Made from 100% Malbec and aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels under the direction of head winemaker Alejandro Vigil, this wine offers an outstanding balance of concentrated fruit, refined oak integration, and deep structural complexity.

"Displaying a deep red color with violet reflections in the glass, the nose is intense and concentrated, revealing expressive notes of blackberries and wild forest berries typical of the Nicasia terroir, framed by nuances of vanilla, tobacco, and liqueur from its extensive oak aging. On the palate, it delivers a sweet initial impact and great depth, featuring a full-bodied profile with soft, round tannins and a long, persistent finish."
