"It presents a delicate nose of blue fruits and red berries, with a very floral character marked by notes of violet and a subtle hint of ink. The palate is medium-bodied, with chalky, seductive tannins and a fine touch of blue fruit that brings both depth and salinity. Smooth but elegant. [Drink now. (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
Adrianna Vineyard's Malbec Fortuna Terrae 2022 is pure, floral, herbal and elegant on the nose, followed by a supple, soft and richly textured palate driven by an increasingly electric core of acidity. It ends with a solid, vibrant finish, framed by refined, discreet tannins, which gradually gain in length and dimension with time in the glass. This is a fantastic mainstay of the superior Catena Zapata Malbec range and a charming middle ground between the livelier, more ethereal River and the more sumptuous Mundus Bacillus Terrae. 2024-2036

About the wine:
Malbec Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae 2022 was planted in 1992 at an altitude of 1,340 metres on limestone soils. Purple in color, it presents intense aromas of blackberry, plum and lavender, accompanied by hints of licorice. Dry and juicy, its compact palate is enhanced by high acidity, creating a balanced palate that lingers with floral and blackberry notes. The overall aesthetic is slightly raw with a chalky nuance, offering delicate yet intense flavors. Fortuna Terrae embodies the character of a high-altitude Malbec. 2026-2046
