Located at nearly 1,500 metres above sea level in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Adrianna Vineyard experiences intense sunlight and cool nighttime temperatures, allowing for slow ripening and extraordinary flavour concentration while retaining natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage delivered outstanding purity and balance, resulting in a wine of both power and elegance. Fruit was hand-harvested and carefully sorted before fermentation with gentle extraction techniques designed to preserve aromatic detail and vineyard expression. Maturation in French oak barrels enhanced texture and complexity without overshadowing the wine’s strong mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1695\"\u003eThe wine opens with layered aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry intertwined with notes of crushed stone, graphite, lavender, violet, and subtle spice. The palate is intense yet refined, showing concentrated dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and finely textured tannins that lead into an exceptionally long and mineral-driven finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1697\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003eStill youthful and tightly structured, the 2022 River Stone Malbec will reward patient cellaring over 15–25+ years, evolving further savoury complexity and tertiary nuance with age. Decanting is recommended if enjoyed in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"2045\"\u003eA profound high-altitude Malbec that captures the precision, energy, and terroir transparency of Adrianna Vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craft Republic Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51251544031547,"sku":"9152900202","price":335.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/CatenaZapataAdriannaVineyardRiverStoneMalbec750ml_2c9abaea-c956-4e07-990d-698533ecfc23.png?v=1778820500","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2022-catena-zapata-adrianna-vineyard-river-stone-malbec-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
