Familia Zuccardi
Since its conception in 1963, Zuccardi has been one of Argentina`s pioneering wineries. The estate continues to be so in the safe hands of the third generation with Sebastián Zuccardi, who has inherited the same determination and desire to create world-class wines. Tim Atkin MW, one of the most authoritative critics on South American wines, once described Sebastián as "one of the key players in the Argentinian wine revolution... producing some of their finest wines in the process." This sentiment has been echoed by many critics as their top wines receive 95+ point scores on a regular basis. Piedra Infinita is their prized vineyard located in the heart of the alluvial plain of the Tunuyán River, Paraje Altamira. For Sebastián, terroir, and sense of place are paramount as he said he doesn`t "strive for perfect wines, but wines that express the place and region" - this philosophy could not be more evident with Piedra Infinita, Supercal, and Gravascal.

Region
Mendoza
Mendoza
Mendoza
One of the agricultural heartlands of Argentina, the province of Mendoza is just over the size of England and produces a wide variety of produce for domestic and international consumption. It also boasts two-thirds of Argentina's vineyard area. Sitting in the shadow of the Andes, the climate is sunny and dry, and the region receives little rainfall. With an average vineyard height of 1000 metres, altitude is a key factor in Mendoza grape production, as it reduces humidity and the thin air helps the sunlight penetrate and ripen the grapes. Malbec is the undisputed king of Mendoza, producing incredibly expressive wines with deep colour and a dark fruit character, along with a signature violet note. Mendoza holds 80 percent of Argentina's plantings of Malbec and the wines range from fruit-driven everyday styles through to complex, age-worthy wines. Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Torrontes and Sauvignon Blanc are also extensively planted across the region.

Malbec
Malbec
Malbec is a red grape variety producing fruit with a dark,inky colour and robust tannin. In France the majority of the plantings can be found around the town of Cahors, in the south-west. These wines produce the darkest and most tannic expressions of the grape. In the New World, Argentina has proven itself to be at the forefront of Malbec production, and wines from here will have pure, dark-fruit and peppery, spicy character. Malbec is known for textural flavours of blackberry, plum, chocolate and tobacco.
