The wine is made by the renowned Catena Zapata family winery, which is famous for discovering and cultivating high-altitude vineyards. The winery's philosophy is rooted in the deep belief that the cool climate and intense mountain sunlight at this extreme elevation create wines of incredible depth and complexity. The 'Fortuna Terrae' parcel name means 'Luck of the Land' in Latin, referring to its deep loam and clay soils with white limestone-covered stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is 100% Malbec. It exhibits a garnet colour with violet reflections and a medium to high layer intensity. The aromatic profile is very expressive, with a striking purity and cleanness, featuring telltale violets from the Malbec grape. Other notes include black fruit, dark plums, dried earth, tar, paprika, lavender, and cedar. It is a medium to full-bodied wine. The palate is beautifully concentrated and structured, with a tremendous freshness and a 'crisp' touch. The fine-grained tannins impart a chalky limestone sensation, and the wine is both dense and unctuous. Stylistically, it is a pure, precise, and elegant wine, described as a 'Burgundian' style that pulsates with tension and finesse. The wine was aged for 14 to 18 months in French oak barrels. The finish is long, fresh, wonderfully persistent, and coated by chalky minerality. The ABV is either 13.9% or 14.3%. The optimal drinking window is from 2024 to 2032, or 2025 onwards.
