Grown on sandy and calcareous soils with layers of caliche and stone, where the vines coexist with native flora like chañares, espinillos, and jarillas, this pure Chardonnay is crafted following a meticulous bunch selection and direct pressing. Fermented with native yeasts in concrete vats, 90% of the wine is aged in concrete while the remaining 10% undergoes aging in used, un-toasted 500-liter French oak barrels without undergoing malolactic fermentation. This careful winemaking approach delivers a wine of remarkable balance that perfectly captures a great harmony between juiciness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\"Showing a brilliant clarity in the glass, the nose opens with great elegance and complexity, displaying crisp, fresh fruit characters beautifully layered with distinctive mineral notes driven by its unique calcareous and stony origins. On the palate, it enters with a fine and precise structure, showcasing a vibrant, intact natural acidity that provides incredible tension. Its texture is beautifully balanced, leading into a long, refreshing, and highly expressive finish that stays true to its mountain desert terroir.\" \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"1421\"\u003e(Note: As official tasting notes were not explicitly provided in the technical sheet of image_5ded19.png, this description was crafted based on its premium grape variety, specific terroir, and aging methods).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"16\"\u003eWinery:\u003c\/b\u003e Zuccardi Valle de Uco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"46\"\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e White Wine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"63\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"77\"\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"98\"\u003eBlend:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"121\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/b\u003e Bunch selection followed by direct pressing; fermented with native yeasts in concrete vessels with no malolactic fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"261\"\u003eAging:\u003c\/b\u003e 90% of the wine is aged in concrete vessels, while the remaining 10% is aged in used, un-toasted 500-liter French oak barrels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"394\"\u003eWinemakers:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastián Zuccardi (Winemaking Director) \u0026amp; Laura Principiano (Head Winemaker)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"484\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"499\"\u003eTotal Acidity:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.42 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"523\"\u003epH:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"531\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Gualtallary, Uco Valley, Mendoza (1,360–1,385 m | 4,462–4,544 ft)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"605\"\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 10–12°C (50–54°F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"644\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Argentina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"663\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Grilled sea bass, fresh oysters, salmon ceviche, creamy mushroom pasta, poultry dishes, and goat or semi-hard cheeses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"795\"\u003eAging Potential:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to 8 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zuccardi Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66797256015917,"sku":"_ZBG2023","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1415\/8893\/files\/ZuccardiBotanicoGualtallary.webp?v=1780276081","url":"https:\/\/uk.argewine.com\/products\/zuccardi-botanico-gualtallary","provider":"Argewine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
