Catena Zapata & Rothschild Tinto

Description

This Amancaya, from Catena Zapata & Rothschild, is a stunning demonstration of how talent can thrive even in distant lands. It beautifully marries the tradition of Argentina with the elegance of Bordeaux, aptly named after the indigenous flower of the region. Grown at altitudes approaching 1200 metres in the heart of Luján de Cuyo, with its distinctive clay and gravel soils, the wine truly captures the intensity of the Mendoza sun. A remarkable expression of the region's viticultural prowess – lauded with 91/100 by Robert Parker and 94/100 by Tim Atkins – it’s an exquisite partner to a hearty roasted beef, amplifying the wine’s rich complexities.
