Alamos Malbec is an emblematic wine from Bodega Catena Zapata, renowned for its expression of high-altitude Malbec in Mendoza. Made from grapes from Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, over 900 meters in altitude, this wine reflects intense aromas and a balanced palate, making it an ideal representation of the Argentine varietal.
Alamos Malbec is one of the most representative wines from Bodega Catena Zapata, one of the most influential wineries in recent Argentine wine history. This wine is born with the idea of expressing the character of high-altitude Malbec from Mendoza, maintaining an accessible style and true to the varietal profile that has made this grape famous worldwide. The Álamos line was created to showcase the typicity of the Mendoza vineyard from different parcels situated in elevated areas of the region.
The grapes come primarily from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, two of the most prestigious wine regions in Mendoza. In these areas, the vines are found at altitudes that can exceed 900 meters above sea level, where the combination of sunny days and cool nights favors slow and balanced ripening. This condition allows for the preservation of the grape's natural acidity and the development of intense aromas, a distinctive trait of high-altitude Argentine Malbecs.
The wine is made from 100% Malbec, a variety that has become the emblem of the country. After harvesting, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, and the wine undergoes aging for about 6 to 9 months in French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity without masking the fruity expression.
Visually, it presents a deep purple color with violet reflections, and its aromatic profile is intense, dominated by ripe black fruits such as plum and blackberry, accompanied by floral nuances and notes of vanilla and cocoa. On the palate, it is balanced and enveloping, with mature tannins that provide texture and a persistent finish. This Malbec symbolizes the essence of Argentine wine, inviting you to enjoy its unique flavors.
