Buy Zuccardi Gualtallary Malbec 2016 – A Benchmark for High-Altitude Malbec
Crafted exclusively from 100% Malbec grapes grown in the stony soils of Gualtallary in Argentina’s revered Uco Valley, the Zuccardi Vinos de Paraje Aluvional Gualtallary Malbec 2016 is a testament to the precision and artistry of Sebastián Zuccardi. Bottled unfiltered after aging in concrete and oak, this wine captures the minerality, purity, and complexity of its origin.
With its layered fruit profile of strawberry, cherry, and ripe plum, alongside fresh herbal notes, violet florals, and earthy undertones, this Malbec is both expressive and refined. It boasts a silky mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and firm yet elegant tannins, culminating in a long, savoury finish.
