Zuccardi Q Malbec 2017

The 2017 Q Malbec wants to showcase the variety in the Valle de Uco using grapes from Altamira and Chacayes. It fermented in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts and with some full clusters that were broken, and it matured in concrete and used French barriques. This differs from the Serie A in the vineyards; here, they look for more texture and less fruit, aiming for sharper and more austere, in the direction of Concreto. It's impressive how the wines from Zuccardi have improved in the last few years and how a wine at this price can have such precision and purity. No excess in any direction. Superb. 380,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2018.

This is clean and focused with dark berry and blueberry character. Tight with a medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. A transparent and pretty red. Drink now.
