Why You'll Love It
This is Argentine Tempranillo at its finest—structured, elegant, and beautifully complex. 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, resulting in wines of exceptional character and ageing potential.
Vineyard & Production
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. The 2019 vintage was an outstanding year in Mendoza, marked by ideal ripening conditions with higher-than-average spring humidity, while summer temperatures remained consistently below average. February and March continued with cool, luminous days, allowing slow, even ripening. 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
This deeply structured Tempranillo opens with aromas and flavours of tobacco, leather and chocolate. The palate is silky yet robust, showing ripe fruit with savoury depth, fine tannins and excellent balance. The finish is long and refined, combining power with finesse.
