Nicasia Vineyard Malbec

Information

Description

Nicasia Vineyard Malbec 2022 originates in Altamira, in the La Consulta district of the Uco Valley, at an elevation of 1,095 metres. Catena Zapata grows its own Malbec selection here, known as the Catena Cuttings, in an area particularly valued by Domingo Catena. Shallow, gravelly topsoil lies over an ancient riverbed containing large stones and providing effective drainage. Made entirely from Malbec, the wine undergoes cold whole-cluster maceration before fermentation. Maturation then takes place over 16–21 months in second-use French oak barrels, as recorded in the producer’s vintage sheet.
