"It has 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 subtle hint of blue fruits that brings both depth and salinity. Mellow but elegant. [...] Drink now." (James Suckling 2025)

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

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