  • Sebastian Zuccardi made this wine to honor his father Jose. A traditional Malbec with black fruit notes at the fore and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented in concrete vats with native yeast. Maceration for 20 days with daily delestage and piegeage. Aged in oak foudres. Bottled unfiltered.

The 2019 vintage was an exceptional one where the climatic conditions allowed us to harvest each region, variety, and soil type at the time we were expecting. We spent much of our days tasting grapes and determining the right moment to harvest where we found that the grapes showed the greatest balance to express the purity of the place. In this season, we had no spring frosts; there were only a couple of nights with isolated frosts, and in low and cold areas the temperatures were just below 0°C, without causing any harm. Spring was generally humid (not necessarily rainy: but humid, with dew points that were higher than average). in 2019 there were no autumn frosts in any of our vineyards until the end of April. Overall, 2018-2019 was a fresh season, more similar to the 2016, than to the 2017, but dry. It has been a year of cool temperatures during a full week of January, and then moderate temperatures are always below average. The same thing happened during February and March, however, this was a year of high luminosity. The climatic conditions provided the wines with very good natural acidity, tannins with good structure, and excellent fruit, without over-ripening. The 2019 vintage was exceptional, with ideal climatic conditions allowing us to harvest each region, variety, and soil type at the optimal time. We spent a lot of time tasting grapes to determine the right moment to harvest, ensuring that the grapes displayed the perfect balance to showcase the purity of the place. Fortunately, there were no spring frosts, only a couple of nights with isolated frosts in low-lying, cold areas where the temperatures dipped just below 0°C without causing any damage.

Overall, 2018-2019 was a cool season, more similar to 2016 than to 2017, but it was dry. We experienced cool temperatures for a full week in January and then consistently moderate temperatures below average. The same pattern continued through February and March, with the added benefit of high luminosity. The climatic conditions resulted in wines with very good natural acidity, tannins with good structure, and excellent fruit without over-ripening.
