The 2021 Bodega Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec is a distinguished single-vineyard Malbec from the famed Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Mendoza. Produced from one of the vineyard’s most celebrated parcels, this wine highlights the depth, freshness and mineral character that define high-altitude Argentine Malbec.
The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of blackberry, black cherry and violet alongside notes of graphite, crushed stone, cocoa and subtle spice. On the palate, it is powerful yet precise, with concentrated dark fruit, vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins. The finish is long, layered and persistent, showing remarkable balance and site-specific character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb choice for collectors and lovers of premium Malbec seeking a wine with both power and elegance. Enjoy with chargrilled beef, slow-cooked lamb, venison or rich mushroom dishes. While approachable with decanting, this wine has the structure to develop beautifully over the next 15–20 years.
