"Fermented 100% whole-cluster, then fermented and aged one year in concrete, the 2023 Malbec Concreto was the first wine made in the modern-day Zuccardi winery, a wine that changed winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi's philosophy of winemaking. Forgoing oak and sweet fruit, he seeks first and foremost to express freshness in his wines, finding a strong sense of place through stony minerality and a touch of wild herb. Thick and richly concentrated, it is a testament to his dedication to concrete fermentation and aging, the 100% varietal wine fermenting entirely in concrete amphorae before spending 11 months in 100% concrete tank. The wine is duly textured, complex, and lively, retaining freshness amidst a plush structure with plenty of length. Drink now through 2038." —Jeb Dunnuck

"Such a naked, floral malbec. Stripped down, with fresh blackberries, blueberries, violets, stone, iodine and graphite. Full-bodied and tight with fresh, succulent fruit in a deep set. Intense, flavorful and very composed. Tannins are firm, tight and gritty. Drink or hold." —James Suckling
