Catena Adrianna Vineyard River · 2022
Catena Zapata never ceases to surprise us with its new parcel wines, with their amazing personality, and they have made Argentine wine the new 'one to watch'. Sourcing from the renowned Adrianna Vineyard it has produced some exceptional wines, both whites and reds. Among the reds we find three great names: Fortuna Terrae, Mundus Bacillus Terrae and River Stones. They are not yet widely known, very limited in production, but really outstanding and exciting. River Stones comes from the rockiest area and is the red version of White Stones; its grapes have been exposed to the north, which in the southern hemisphere means more warmth (in cool vintage years the results are remarkable). It’s a wine which combines powerfulness and elegance in equal measures, a refined, harmonious and precise wine, like few others. Exceptional, in capital letters.

The wines of Mendoza are world-renowned for their quality and diversity. Located at the foot of the Andes, this wine region of Argentina benefits from an ideal climate, with sunny days and cool nights that allow the grapes to ripen optimally. Among the most prominent varieties are the area's flagship Malbec, along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay. Mendoza wines tend to have a deep character, with intense fruit flavours and excellent structure, ideal for pairing with meats and hearty dishes.
