- A citrus palate with bright acidity and creamy lees. Aged in concrete and 500L French oak barrels Fosil is sourced from Zuccardi’s Estancia Place vineyard, which is within the IG San Pablo. At 1400 m.a.s.l. and only 300mtrs from the Cordeillera, the first range of the Andes mountain, the wine has been influenced by the extremity of its location. Sebastian describes this as a wine born from the unrepeatable combination of cold weather, calcareous soil, and Andean breezes from one of the highest areas of the Uco Valley.
The 2021 vintage was an exceptional one, where the climate conditions allowed us to harvest each region, variety, and soil type at the time we were expecting. Spring was generally humid (not necessarily rainy, but humid, with dew, and points that were higher than average). 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.
