Zuccardi, a renowned winery in Argentina, is celebrated for its innovative approach and commitment to expressing the unique terroir of the Uco Valley. The Zuccardi Chardonnay Fosil is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of the Valle de Uco, a region known for its exceptional viticultural conditions. This wine is fermented in concrete vats, allowing for a pure expression of the fruit and terroir without the influence of oak. The resulting wine is vibrant and fresh, with a pronounced minerality and a flavor profile that includes notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of tropical fruit. Its crisp acidity and elegant structure make it a versatile pairing for dishes such as grilled seafood, creamy pasta, or roasted chicken.

So much crisp pears, tart peaches and lemon aromas here, but also notes of fresh garden herbs! This is a very juicy expression of Eden Valley dry riesling with wonderful balance. A long and zesty finish pulls you back for more.
