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 also 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 2016 began fermentation in a combination of concrete vats and oak foudre before maturation in French oak barrels for 18 months. From a cooler vintage, this is hallmarked by exceptionally broody dark fruits, brilliantly refined tannins and wonderful freshness, with superb overall balance. Decanting this wine is definitely recommended.
