Score: 95 Robert Parker / 94 James Suckling
Zuccardi Aluvional is a selection of the best soils of alluvial origin in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. It expresses the characteristics and essence of each of the regions through the grape that best represents us: Malbec.
Aluvional Los Chacayes is from the southern part of the farm, where the stones are not on the surface; Altamira is from the newer part in the south of Paraje Altamira, a rockier part that could not be cultivated without drip irrigation; and Gualtallary is from the part around the Monastery. It is possible that they will start using some of those mentions in the labels, but not for now, so the label for now says 2016 Aluvional Los Chacayes, even if the subzone or the place in the south is not specified. The wines have many herbs and maturity is contained. It is floral, with revealing violets. The wine has structure and a stony feel, a bit more rustic than places with more limestone. 6,300 bottles were produced. They were bottled in February 2017.¨ Luis Gutiérrez for The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker
