Zuccardi Valles Torrontés 2020, Salta, Argentina [RP91]

Fermented and bottled early with short maceration to look for finesse and subtler aromas. Clusters were pressed directly, which gives a citrus and floral wine without the bitterness that grapes can deliver. It has a dry and fresh finish without rusticity. 2020 was a year of sun. [Suggested food pairing: grilled and roast white meats, fish, shellfish, Asian cuisine]

Zuccardi Q Malbec 2019, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina [JS94]

An exceptional harvest. Conditions were very fresh and dry. Cooler weather allowed great natural acidity. The wine is very balanced with good structure. It has aromas of wild herbs, wild purple flowers and bright red and black fruit. On the palate the freshness persists with notes of red fruit, blueberries, cassis, and spices like black pepper. [Suggested food pairing: grilled and roast red meats, pizza, pasta, casseroles, stews, cheeses] $308 per bottle. Available in all F&B outlets.
