“The 2018 Adrianna Vineyard Fortuna Terrae comes from deeper soils with clay and limestone planted in 1992 in Gualtallary. The grapes were picked a little later in 2018, as they had higher yields, to achieve better acidity. It fermented with 50% full clusters in 225-liter oak barrels and 500-liter roll fermentors and matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. It reveals some austerity and subtle aromas, red and black fruit, some spice and a medium to full-bodied palate with good tension and some austerity, developing a shy note of thyme after some time in the glass. It’s very balanced and tasty.”

“A pure and minerally style, with concentrated dark cherry, currant and blackberry flavors that are backed by fresh acidity and lithe tannins. The fresh finish is powerfully elegant, lingering with rich spice and savory accents.”– (Highly Recommended)

“Sourced from some of the lower vines in the Adrianna Vineyard, although they are still at 1,340 metres, this is a subtle, floral Malbec from cooler, more fertile soils, with engaging violet perfume, hints of thyme and lavender, some tobacco notes from whole bunches, fine oak and a core of bramble and blackberry fruit.”

“This is a selection from Block 6 of the Adrianna Vineyard, planted in 1992 in Gualtallary, more than 1,300 meters up in the Uco Valley. The stony, alluvial, calcareous soils and the cool mountain climate give this malbec a tense and refreshing character. If we add in earlier harvests (about one month earlier on average over the past four vintages, according to winemaker Alejandro Vigil), the personality of this Fortuna, along with the others in the Vinos de Parcela line, reflects the Andean breezes in a wine full of red fruit, acidity, and tannic vigor. A wine that's drinking well today, but that will continue to grow over the years in the bottle.”

“Catena Zapata works with specific parcels from their Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary – in this case, Lot 6. Fermented in French barrels and aged for 18 months, this Malbec presents a typical profile for a cold area. It offers sweet and sour cherry and violet aromas with hints of lavender and sage; the attractive perfume is underlined by the oak. The nuanced profile features a palate of fine, well-integrated, juicy tannins made more expressive by salinity, along with a lengthy raspberry aftertaste.”
