Malbec
75cl * Vegan * 14.0% ABV * Uco Valley, Argentina
Zuccardi is one of Argentina's top producers, consistently ranked among the best in the world. In 2021, they were voted voted best winery and vineyard in the world for the third consecutive year, and in 2022, New World Winery of the Year, hence why you'll see rather a lot of their wines on our shelves.
Their Los Olivos Malbec is a brilliant expression of the cooler Uco Valley, with distinct freshness and minerality. There's plenty of ripe plum and blackberry, but it's balanced by a savoury, slightly peppery finish that adds complexity. Great with stuffed red peppers.
"Zuccardi is another large family-run bodega based in the Uco Valley and renowned for a refreshing style. Check out its 2023 Los Olivos Malbec, with a blueberry and violet spin, plus a long, punchy finish." Jane MacQuitty, The Times 1st June 2024
Los Olivos has been lauded as a classic Argentine malbec. Described as 'lip-smackingly fruity and utterly moorish'. Definitely an 'authentic gem to seek out'. Matt Nixon, Daily Express Saturday, 6th July 2024
"Our best buy is Los Olivos from the prize-winning Zuccardi winery. Wonderfully smooth yet sprightly, it will improve the taste of any meal it accompanies". John Clarke, The Independent, 14th Jan 2020
