Angélica Zapata Merlot

A Merlot that breaks with the variety's bland stereotype. Catena Zapata works with high-altitude grapes in Mendoza to achieve a wine with its own character: fruity, yet with structure and depth. A solid option for those looking for more than just a friendly red.

WINE PROFILE

100% Merlot from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza. Medium-high bodied red, with soft tannins and good presence on the palate. Altitude provides freshness and extends ripening, which translates into more complexity and better acidity. Aged in French oak barrels, adding structure without detracting from the fruit. %

ALCOHOL

14.5%

AGING POTENTIAL

It has the potential to evolve between 6 and 10 years from harvest under good conditions.

SUGGESTED PAIRING

Very comfortable with roasted pork, herb-roasted chicken, or a quality burger. It scales well to more elaborate preparations such as duck confit, slow-cooked lamb, or mushroom risotto.
