"Zuccardi's 2024 El Camino de Las Flores comes from a sub-parcel of Finca Las Cerrilladas in Gualtallary Monestario and was vinified and aged for one year in unlined concrete vats without bâtonnage or malolactic fermentation. It opens with a radiant, complex bouquet of green orchard fruits, dried white flowers, chamomile, fresh herbs and a subtle touch of candlewax and background tropical notes, which create a delicately fleshed-out backdrop for its high-toned, energetic profile. The palate is tensile and seamless, blending a polished, compact density with invigorating acidity and mineral-driven purity that carries a long, weightless and intense finish. I look forward to following the evolution here once it develops more textural dimension and complexity after time in the cellar."

"The 2024 El Camino de las Flores is 100%Chardonnay from Gualtallary, grown on pinkcaliche soils rich in clay and calcium carbonate.Yellow in hue, it opens with aromas of herbs andapple, huacatay, chamomile, sage andpineapple, delivering a clear and expressivebouquet. On the palate, this is broad and chalky,with tension, amplitude and depth of flavor.Medium-bodied and long on the finish, itbalances volume with agility. The 2024 is amodern, high-altitude Chardonnay where theterroir lends so much textural complexity."

"Gorgeous aromas of lemon meringue pie, crisp green apples, white flowers, orange rind and a touch of dried herbs. The palate blends cool white stone fruit with ripe, exotic yellow fruit underpinned by a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that gives it a sleek and straight backbone. Purity and polish in spades with excellent freshness and stony minerality. Great energy and precision with balance, density and a very slightly oily texture that fills the mouth. This is a single-estate wine from Finca Las Cerrilladas, located in Gualtallary Monasterio at 1,380 meters above sea level. Vinification and ageing for one year in unlined concrete vats. No malo and no batonnage. 3.25pH. A new addition on the Place de Bordeaux this year. "

"(Mendoza; 100% Chardonnay planted on limestone soils in the dry Fina Las Cerrilladas in the Gualtallary sector of the Uco Valley at 1400 metres of altitude; no malolactic fermentation; 13% alcohol; just 2000 bottles produced). Another excellent new release. As the absence of malolactic fermentation on the technical sheet suggests this is all about purity, focussed precision and terroir typicity. It is brilliantly floral and fresh with a very vivid herb and delicate white flower encased pear, peach and crisp white apple-core aromatic profile. Acacia flowers, mimosa and a wonderful flint and chalky minerality. On the palate, this is if anything fresher, crisper and brighter still with a very well-defined linear spine and lots of forward thrust and energy. Vibrant, racy and brilliantly crystalline, I am an instant fan. 96."
