2022 Zuccardi 'Q' Chardonnay Valle de Uco

Winemaker Notes:  Zuccardi Q is special for the family, as it was the first wine to bear our name on the label. The simple letter 'Q' – Quality – indicates vineyards and parcels that have been carefully selected. Zuccardi Q is a "Regional Wine". It is an assemblage of grapes from selected vineyards, from the best regions of Mendoza. Each plot is harvested separately and at different times, in order to achieve the best varietal expression in each place. - Sebastián Zuccardi

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2022 Q Chardonnay is one of the pillars of this range from selected villages in the Valle de Uco, here El Peral and Gualtallary (explained on the back label). This is where the wines get serious; they go beyond fruit and juiciness to look for more complexity and more sense of place through selecting the places. This fermented in concrete and used 500-liter barrels (50% each) where it matured for some six months, but there's no oak here; there's purity, nuance and complexity, freshness (no malolactic and no bâtonnage) and a fine texture with chalky tannins. It has 13.5% alcohol and full development of flavors and aromas but with freshness and tension."
