Zuccardi Piedra Infinita Gravascal 2020 - 3 Bottles
Zuccardi Piedra Infinita Gravascal 2020 hails from the Paraje Altamira subregion of the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. The winery is led by third generation winemaker Sebastián Zuccardi, whose philosophy focuses on 'terroir-focussed' wines that express the unique limestone-rich soils of the Andes foothills. This specific parcel, Gravascal, represents a meticulous selection from a 0.73-hectare plot characterized by large granite rocks covered in calcium carbonate.
Wine Description
This 100% Malbec displays a profound ruby red colour with violet undertones. The aromatic profile is intense and precise, dominated by notes of red fruits, wild herbs, and a distinct mineral 'wet stone' character. On the palate, the wine is full bodied yet remarkably elegant, defined by its chalky texture and vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and saline, reflecting the high lime content of the vineyard soil. While beautiful now, this wine has an optimal drinking window extending through 2040 due to its impeccable balance and structure.
