Producer Information

Sebastian Zuccardi, grandson of the founder, is now in charge at this trailblazing family winery. Rapidly establishing himself as one of the great winemaking talents of Argentina, he is determined to alter the world's perception of Malbec and evolve our understanding of what Mendoza has to offer. He talks of not seeking perfect wines, but those that express the place, the region. His vision is not altitude, it is terroir: terroir honed and shaped by the icy Andes flood waters whose power brought the rocks and boulders that now form the sub-soils of many of the very best vineyards. Frequently pictured waist deep in a muddy hole in one of these vineyards, these rocks not only form part of the vineyard but in their new winery, they form the building and the fermentation vessels. At the forefront of the movement towards greater fruit purity, Sebastian's wines are the most convincing argument for the use of concrete fermentation and ageing vessels and, as a result, for the movement towards a greater understanding of the potential of Malbec and of Argentina in general. Though we may be a little biased, it is fair to say that Sebastian is amongst the most influential young winemakers on the planet.

Grapes

Malbec,

Production

Classic vinification which is halted to leave residual sugar by the additon of spirit. The fortified wine is then aged for just over two years in aged French oak.

Tasting Notes

Malamado Fortified Malbec is a soft purple colour with aromas of over ripened plums, dried figs and nuts. A complex sweet wine with spicy tones of cinnamon and toasted almonds. Christmas pudding in a glass!

This is a lovely pairing with chocolate or cheese.
