More information on wine critics and ratings

This Argentinian Malbec is an exceptional wine from a unique terroir. It is produced by the Zuccardi family, one of the most prestigious winemakers in Argentina.

The vines are located in the Gualtallary region of Mendoza province. This terroir is characterized by its stony soils and high altitude (1,800 meters). These climatic conditions allow Malbec grapes to develop a high concentration of fruit and tannins.

The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks with partial malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new.

On the nose, the wine is intense and complex, with notes of black fruits, black cherries, black currants, plums, sweet spices, cacao, and minerality. There are also hints of licorice and leather.

On the palate, the wine is powerful and fleshy, with silky tannins and a beautiful structure. The finish is long and persistent.

This wine is ideal for pairing with grilled red meats, game, or hard cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own to appreciate its aromatic complexity.

The 2019 Polígonos Gualtallary Malbec used to be called Tupungato Alto, but it now lists Gualtallary on the label. It's the most structured of the Malbecs in the Polígonos range, a wine that is wild and fresh. After the Altamira, the citrus notes are back, but they're different from San Pablo; this is more herbal (dry herbs), with thyme and rockrose. All the range fermented and aged in concrete, trying to be faithful to the origin. This is simply superb and incredible for the price. 19,000 bottles were filled in August 2020.

Sebastián Zuccardi uses no oak and no cultured yeasts to make this wine, a stunningly fresh, zesty malbec. Sourced from a vineyard at 3,600 feet in altitude, where there’s plenty of calcareous stone in the alluvial scree, it feels almost Burgundian in its combination of complexity and transparency. Give it a decant before you serve it, as it takes time for the wine to shake off its initial tension; then it blossoms, with notes of fir tree, stone and fresh-picked berries.

The front label of the Zuccardi Q range illustrates the stone walls of Zuccardi’s winery, rising from the soil and symbolising how the Andes mountains emerged millions of years ago.
Like the winery, Q Tempranillo is a wine of great structure, with notes of tobacco, leather and chocolate.
