DATA SHEET
Angélica Zapata Malbec is a blend made from Malbec grapes from different vineyards. The result is a wine of great concentration and elegance.

The Angélica vineyard provides aromas of ripe plums, red fruit jam, softness and volume on the palate.

La Pirámide delivers aromas of black stone fruits and spicy notes of black pepper and cloves.

Nicasia block 2, provides red fruits of the forest, freshness and elegance.

Section 3 of Adrianna presents intense floral aromas reminiscent of violet and lavender, while section 9 of this vineyard provides a deep, dark violet colour, aroma of ripe black fruit, mineral notes and a long finish on the palate.

These five elements are combined in an exceptional way, giving great complexity to the final blend.
