Mendoza, Argentina
Founded in 1902, Bodega Catena Zapata is perhaps the most famous winery in Argentina and has been at the forefront of resurrecting the Malbec grape variety whilst establishing itself as one of the pre-eminent fine wine producers in the country. The Mundus Bacillus Terrae Malbec comes from a small 1.4-hectare plot within the famed Adrianna Vineyard, which sits at almost 5,000ft elevation in the Gualtallary District of Mendoza.

The 2015 was fermented in 225- and 500-litre French oak before further maturation in oak for 18 months. This vintage was slightly warmer than both the previous and subsequent editions, resulting in slightly riper fruit and lower acidity, and is therefore much more approachable in youth but perhaps does not have the same potential longevity. A superlative Malbec nonetheless.
