2021 Jose Zuccardi - Malbec Valle de Uco (750ml)

A wine of genuine prestige and collector-worthy ambition — the José Zuccardi is the estate's most personal and exalted Malbec, a tribute to José Alberto Zuccardi, the visionary son of the winery's founder who internationalized the brand and placed Zuccardi firmly on the global wine map. Rated 96 Points by James Suckling — one of the highest scores ever awarded to this bottling — and praised by Wine Spectator for its lovely floral thyme and roasted plum notes, polished graphite- and berry-laced core, twinges of licorice, orange peel, and peppercorn, working its way to a lengthy finish around beautifully integrated tannins. 

A blend of 95% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Zuccardi's finest high-altitude parcels in the Valle de Uco, fermented in concrete and aged for more than a year in cask with Sebastián Zuccardi's signature minimal-intervention philosophy — no shortcuts, no compromises, just pure terroir expression. Wine Enthusiast found it elegant and floral on the nose with jarilla and plum, unfolding with dark and red berries, a light note of licorice at mid-palate, and carrying beautifully through to a long finish. Full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with the precision, energy, and structural integrity of a truly great wine. This is Zuccardi at its absolute peak — serious, cellar-worthy, and deeply inspiring
