About this wine
FAMILIA ZUCCARDI Jose Zuccardi Malbec, Valle de Uco
A blend of two grapes; Malbec and a little Cabernet Sauvignon, from two sites in the Uco Valley. The Malbec comes from Paraje Altamira and the Cabernet from Gualtallary both sites soaring over 1000m above sea level.
The concrete vats are filled via a gravity fed system where the juice is fermented with indigenous yeasts. Made to be more round and traditional in style, the José Zuccardi pays tribute winemaker Sebastián’s father.
“This wine represents my father’s passion and conviction”
Sebastián Zuccardi

Expert Review
Luis Gutierrez
The 2016 José Zuccardi was produced with grapes (90% Malbec and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) from Altamira and Gualtallary in the Valle de Uco. This is the continuation of the old Z bottling, but here the wine is aged mostly in 2,500-liter oak vats rather than in smaller barriques. There are herbal notes reminiscent of green tea leaves, spices and berries. The palate is serious and has chalky tannins, as they select grapes from places in the Valle de Uco that have limestone soils. It seems like they have found the way ahead for this wine in 2016; it's fine, precise and elegant. 40,000 bottles were filled in August 2018.
