Zuccardi Q Tempranillo is a structured and elegant Argentine red, offering complex notes of tobacco, leather, and chocolate. Approachable in its youth yet capable of ageing gracefully for several years, it captures both power and finesse.
Meet the producer
The Zuccardi family is one of Argentina’s most respected winemaking dynasties, known for innovation and for championing vineyard expression across Mendoza. Their ‘Q’ range is sourced from carefully selected, old-vine parcels that deliver concentration, depth, and purity of fruit. Sustainability, minimal intervention, and precision winemaking are hallmarks of the Zuccardi philosophy.
Vineyard
The grapes are sourced from old vines in the Santa Rosa vineyards of Mendoza. The region’s semi-arid climate, abundant sunshine, and high luminosity are moderated by cool nights, which preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. These conditions, coupled with careful vineyard management, ensure perfectly balanced fruit.
Vintage
2019 was an outstanding year in Mendoza, marked by ideal ripening conditions. Spring brought higher-than-average humidity, while summer temperatures remained consistently below average. February and March continued with cool, luminous days, allowing slow, even ripening and resulting in fruit of exceptional quality.
Winemaking
Selected bunches are hand-harvested and gently transferred into concrete vats by gravity. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place with soft extraction through délestage and pigeage. After fermentation, the wine undergoes 20–25 days of maceration on skins, followed by full malolactic conversion. Ageing in oak barrels adds complexity, structure, and longevity.
Tasting notes
Deeply structured with aromas and flavours of tobacco, leather, and chocolate. Silky yet robust on the palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Balanced and refined, it combines ripe fruit with savoury depth.
Food match
Ideal with tapas, grilled meats, charcuterie, and aged cheeses.
