Zuccardi Chardonnay Q 2018

The 2018 Q Chardonnay had a reductive and austere character; it was closed when poured, and the aromas when it opened up were stony rather than fruity. It comes from a vineyard in Gualtallary and another one in El Peral, both in the department of Tupungato. It's clean and pure, flinty and austere, with a superb palate that is sharp, pungent and serious, very mineral and less aromatic, with texture and a long, supple finish. Amazing for this price level. 60,000 bottles produced. They have increased quality and quantity.
