Don’t think for a minute that Argentina is a one trick wine producer. As this wine shows, Argentina makes a superb job of Syrah too. The wine is from Zuccardi – an outstanding, third generation family cellar founded in the 1960s by Don Alberto Zuccardi. A decade before, he’d started an irrigation company, then planted a vineyard to demonstrate to other producers how his system could benefit grape quality. The rest, as they say, is history, and Zuccardi have become one of the leading cellars in Mendoza. Today his grandson Sebastián is winemaker, assisted by Rubén Ruffo. This is a silky, elegant red, with Syrah adding spicy red fruits and structure to Malbec’s darker velvety berry notes. Recommended with chilli, a beef stir-fry or on its own.
