The Wine
Don’t think for a minute that Argentina is a one trick wine producer. As this wine shows, its vineyards grow superb quality Syrah too! The wine is from Zuccardi – a highly awarded, third generation family cellar founded in the 1960s by Don Alberto Zuccardi. He started an irrigation company first, then in 1963 he planted a vineyard to show other producers how his system could benefit grape quality. The rest, as they say, is history, and Familia Zuccardi is now one of Mendoza’s leading cellars. These days Alberto’s grandson Sebastián is winemaker, assisted by Rubén Ruffo. This is a silky, elegant red, with Syrah adding spicy red fruits and structure to Malbec’s darker velvety berry notes. Recommended with chilli or a beef stir-fry, or solo.
"Bold enough for roast meats. Fruity enough for game. Soft enough for everything else"
