Adrianna Vineyard Mundus Bacillus Terrae 2018 - Catena Zapata

Mundus Bacillus Terrae is a parcel of Malbec named after the rhizobacteria that live in symbiosis with the vines at 1450 metres in the Adrianna vineyard. Three quarters of the wine is fermented in concrete and the rest in tuns, followed by 18 months in French oak barrels. The nose has notes of violet and lavender with discreet hints of red fruit, but the wine then explodes on the palate. The wine is pure in texture with nervous tension and ripe but sweet tannins. The magic of this wine lies in its uniqueness, both in style and in the approach to the grape variety. A fascinating wine!
