Malbec Sebastián Zuccardi uses no oak and no cultured yeasts to make this wine, a stunningly fresh, zesty malbec. Sourced from a vineyard at 3,600 feet in altitude, where there’s plenty of calcareous stone in the alluvial scree, it feels almost Burgundian in its combination of complexity and transparency. Give it a decant before you serve it, as it takes time for the wine to shake off its initial tension; then it blossoms, with notes of fir tree, stone and fresh-picked berries. Fermented and aged in concrete vats (no epoxy) with native yeasts. Maceration for 20 days. Aged in concrete.
