Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2015
On request only
Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2015 is a very specific expression of Mendoza Malbec. This dry red wine comes from the Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato Alto, within the Uco Valley, and more precisely from the 1.4-hectare Mundus Bacillus Terrae parcel at around 1,390 metres above sea level.
The name refers to the rhizobacteria found in the limestone layers of this site. Catena Zapata describes the soils here as alluvial and calcareous, with scattered limestone and ancient marine deposits. That background helps explain why the wine is so often described through chalky, stony and saline-mineral impressions rather than through fruit alone.
Made from 100% Malbec, the 2015 was fermented in small oak barrels and French oak (…)Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018

Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018
On request only
Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018 is a red wine built around one very specific place. It comes from the Mundus Bacillus Terrae parcel within Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato Alto, in Mendoza's Uco Valley. At around 1,390 metres above sea level and covering roughly 1.4 hectares, this is a tightly focused single-parcel Malbec rather than a broad regional interpretation.
The name refers to soil bacteria and rhizobacteria in the parcel, a detail that says a great deal about Catena Zapata's approach to Adrianna Vineyard. The producer looks at differences in soil, altitude and microclimate as defining elements of the wine. Here, the soils are described as alluvial and calcareous, with calcium carbonate and fossil marine deposits. The (…)Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018 Magnum (1,5l)

Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018 Magnum (1,5l)
On request only
Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2018 is a red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, but its real identity lies in one very specific place: the Mundus Bacillus Terrae parcel within Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato Alto. The grapes come from a small plot of around 1.4 hectares at approximately 1,390 metres altitude, on alluvial, calcareous soils with calcium carbonate and marine deposits. Even the name points back to the vineyard, referring to rhizobacteria in the soil.
Made from 100% Malbec, the 2018 vintage was fermented partly in concrete eggs and partly in oak foudres, with a proportion of whole bunches, then aged for 18 months in French oak. The result is not presented as a broad, lush Malbec, but as a firm, high-acid, tannic wine with (…)Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2019 Dubbele Magnum (3l)

On request only
Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec 2019 is built around a single, clearly defined place. It comes from Adrianna Vineyard in Mendoza, more specifically from the Gualtallary District in Tupungato Alto, Uco Valley. Mundus Bacillus Terrae is a 1.4-hectare limestone-rich parcel at 1,390 metres altitude, and its name refers to the microorganisms living in that calcareous soil.
Catena Zapata uses the Adrianna Vineyard wines to show how individual parcels and soil types can shape Malbec. In this case, altitude, limestone, old marine deposits and careful vinification come together in a wine described for its freshness, firm tannins and ageing capacity. The 2019 vintage is made from 100% Malbec, with part of the fermentation in concrete using whole clusters (…)Nicolas Catena Zapata 2018

Nicolas Catena Zapata 2018 is a dry red wine from Mendoza, Argentina, built around a clear and rather fascinating idea: Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec brought together as an Argentine interpretation of the historic Bordeaux blend. In this 2018 vintage, the blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Malbec, giving Malbec a clearly visible role alongside the Cabernet structure.
The vineyard origin adds real depth to the story. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Gualtallary, from Adrianna Vineyard at around 1,450 metres, while the Malbec comes from Paraje Altamira, from Nicasia Vineyard at around 1,095 metres. Both sites are in the Uco Valley, and the wine reflects that high-altitude Mendoza setting through its freshness, concentration and firm shape. The grapes are hand-harvested, (…)Nicolas Catena Zapata 2018 Magnum (1,5l)

Very last one in stock!
Nicolas Catena Zapata 2018 in magnum is a Mendoza red with real presence. Catena Zapata positions this Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec blend as an Argentine reconstruction of an older Bordeaux-style blending idea, from a time when Malbec played a more significant role in parts of the Médoc.
For the 2018 vintage, the blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Malbec, sourced from high-altitude crus in the Uco Valley: Adrianna in Gualtallary and Nicasia in Paraje Altamira. That origin helps explain the wine's combination of concentration, structure and freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in small vinification units, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of bottle we (…)Nicolas Catena Zapata 2019

Nicolás Catena Zapata 2019 is the flagship red cuvée from Catena Zapata in Mendoza. It takes its cue from historic Bordeaux blends, where Malbec once played a more prominent role, and translates that idea through high-altitude vineyards in Argentina's Uco Valley.
For the 2019 vintage, the blend is 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec and 28% Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are associated with Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, at around 1,450 metres above sea level, while the Malbec comes from Nicasia Vineyard in Paraje Altamira/La Consulta. The combination of limestone, gravel, large stones, sand and loam gives the wine a firm sense of place rather than a simple varietal profile.

Nicolas Catena Zapata 2020 is the flagship red wine of Catena Zapata in Mendoza. It is built as a nod to the historic Bordeaux blend, when Malbec played a more prominent role than it does in modern Bordeaux. The 2020 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec gives the wine a classical frame, while its high-altitude Uco Valley origin keeps it firmly rooted in Argentina.
Fruit for this wine comes from sites including Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary and Nicasia Vineyard in Paraje Altamira. Their limestone, gravel, large stones, sand and loam help explain why the wine is described not just in terms of concentration, but also through freshness, tension and a clear mineral thread.
The 2020 vintage at Catena Zapata was very dry, with reduced yields and (…)
