Jose Zuccardi Malbec Magnum 1.5 litre 2018 in Wood Box

Magnum size bottle. Sebastian Zuccardi has made this wine to honour his father José. A traditional Malbec, that has explosively fruity aromas and dark fruit flavours of blackberry, dark cherry and plum tart, filled with savoury and cooking spice accents. It's powerfully structured, showing dark chocolate and mocha on the finish, with hints of dried mint. The Malbec for this wine comes from Paraje Altamira and Cabernet Sauvignon from Gualtallary. 2015 had a cool summer and Autumn rains led to an early harvest with lower than normal alcohol levels. The wine is fermented in concrete vats with native yeast and aged in oak foudres. Finally, it's bottled unfiltered.
