NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied Malbec from Zuccardi Finca Los Membrillos is a stunningly smooth yet robust red wine.On the nose, it presents a delightful array of ripe blackberry, cassis, and cherry aromas, with hints of violets and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and intense, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, balanced with a subtle smokiness and spice. The finish is long, with a pleasant lingering of sweet tannins that are complemented by soft oak notes. Enjoy this beautiful Malbec with a variety of dishes, from steak to lamb to game.

ORIGINS

Winery: Zuccardi

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
