Zuccardi Soleria Fortified Torrontes NV 50cl
Tasting Note
Golden amber colour with copper hues. On the nose, this wine expresses aromas of dried fig, nut, toasted chestnut, dried peach, dried apricot, orange zest, honey, beeswax, and honeycomb. A buttery, intense flavour on the palate with hints of golden raisin, star anise, kumquat, date in syrup.
Producer
In 1976, José Alberto, the son of Zuccardi’s founder Tito and his wife Emma, joined the family company and in 1980 he was instrumental in the family decision of ensuring the vineyards were cultivated to produce high quality grapes and in turn, the highest quality wines. The resulting project, Zuccardi Q, has become one of the winery’s best-known ranges, and the benchmark for Argentinian wine. In 2016 he was awarded the International Wine Challenge ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’. In 2023 he was chosen “Legend of Argentinian wine” by Tim Atkin MW in his Annual Argentinian Report.
Sebastián, José’s eldest son, joined the family business in 2002. He began as an agriculturist seeking out premium sites to source higher quality grapes, and from the knowledge he accumulated, his ‘agronomista’ approach to winemaking was born. His focus continues to be on the individual site selection within his vineyards, working with the soil and the land to create wines with a sense of place. Enigmatic and driven, he is one the faces of modern Argentinian winemaking and in 2019 was voted one of South America’s most exciting winemakers by Decanter.
