Current releases
Zuccardi Los Olivos Chardonnay 2024, Mendoza — 13% alcohol; 93/100; about £14.95. Deep and well-defined, with toast, spice and a hint of nuttiness alongside lemon and pineapple. A lively line of acidity keeps the wine fresh, while its flavour is both substantial and polished.
Zuccardi Poligonos Malbec 2023, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley — 14.5%; 93/100; £26 at Sainsbury’s. Fresh and detailed, with fleshy black-cherry fruit and a chalky, stony edge. Despite its alcohol, it is highly drinkable, showing a subtle green note, bright berry flavours and appealing tension. It should develop over the next few years.
Zuccardi Regiones Cabernet Franc 2024, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley — 13.5%; 92/100; about £21. Supple and stony, with savoury notes, blackcurrant and black cherry, and a touch of green. Fresh, balanced and energetic, it avoids heaviness and has an inviting openness.
Zuccardi Malamado Fortified Malbec NV, Mendoza — 18%; 92/100; around £19. Made in a vintage Port style, this was Argentina’s first fortified wine. It is relatively sweet, with aromas of jammy raspberry and blackberry, a faint saltiness and a tannic bite. Juicy, vivid and fresh, it finishes with raspberry fruit. The tannins, fruit and alcohol are not entirely integrated, but the wine is focused and intriguing—a promising attempt at a serious fortified style.
