Zuccardi Tempranillo Q 2014

The Zuccardi family are making glorious wines in the Andes foothills, but their role in Argentinan wine production is long established. This Tempranillo comes from their Santa Rosa vineyards, close to Mendoza city, and has the warmth and body characteristic of the zone. It's a more traditional style, with oak and spices, a confident expression of Tempranillo.

Dark ruby in the glass with ripe raspberry, cherry, damson plum, savoury herbs, spices and dusty tannins. A great Tempranillo from Argentina with wine grapes sourced from Santa Rosa and Paraje Altamira.

Tempranillo food pairings: roast leg of lamb, suckling pig.
