Brooding and inky. Lots of warm stone, mussel shells and iodine to the deep, fresh purple fruit and violets. Broad and nicely chewy and fresh on the palate with a full body and a long, pristine and tightly wound finish. Grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. Better in two more years.

The 2023 Q Malbec aptly summarizes the profile readers can expect throughout the Zuccardi portfolio: poise, balance and precision, regardless of price point. It leads with a vibrant, dark-fruited nose showcasing remarkable purity, followed by a sumptuous, enveloping palate. It concludes with a saturated, concentrated finish that remains lifted and focused.

The 2023 Malbec Q is sourced from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. After a winter in concrete and used, untoasted 500-liter French oak barrels, this wine showcases a lovely fruity expression with violet and cherry notes. It has a broad palate with a sanguine quality and medium-tight tannins, resulting in a somewhat lean finish with a light chalky touch. This is a modern interpretation of the 20-box Malbec from Argentina.
