Familia Zuccardi Poligonos Tupungato Semillion

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.

Semillon,

The vines are planted on alluvial soil, well stratied. Small middle eroded stone on a sandy-clay layer.

The 2022 harvest season will surely be remembered as a cool and greatly balanced one, proving itself to be perhaps one of the most challenging and surprising seasons within the last ten years when it came to decoding and understanding the laws of nature. A season marked by multiple climate milestones that allowed for ample room for ripeness across our vineyards, which we, as winegrowers, used to our advantage through both patience and dedication.

Juice was obtained through direct pressing. Maceration done in concrete vats (no epoxi) with indigenous yeast. Malolactic fermentation in concrete vats.

Poligonos is a selection of varietals that are faithfully displayed, according to the town where they come from. There is a rich and deep expression of the of the San Pablo vineyard in this wonderfully crisp, fresh, honest wine.

Delicious gourmet full-bodied dry white wine. Brilliant straw yellow color with firm tears. Penetrating nose of freshly dried hay and dried white fruits with a hint of vanilla and coriander. Exceptionally luscious rich and fresh texture. Very long and captivating finish.

Great with paella, elegant fish dishes or hard cheeses.
