Substantial, smooth, savoury.
Made by Laura Catena, of the Catena Zapata family, this substantial Malbec doles out charred spices, blackberry, prune, roasted coffee, dried herbs, leather and dried tobacco aromas. The entry is supple and suggests, dry earthy, cocoa dusted black fruits, coffee and grilled meat flavours. Smooth and balanced it is a classic Malbec made for food.
Pair: roasted meats, decadent mushroom risotto or hard cheeses.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper

Substantial, brooding, savoury.
Made by Laura Catena, of the Catena Zapata Malbec family, this substantial red offers notes of toasted spices, blackened cherries, blackberries, cracked pepper and saddle leather with violets and licorice undertones. It is brooding; flavours of bittersweet cocoa nibs and spice, espresso and black fruit dominate. It has a savoury finish.
