Full bodied, ripe dark fruits and soft creamy vanilla finish - all that a good Malbec should be from the world famous Zuccardi stable.
Santa Rosa Estate is situated 85km east of Mendoza City in the foothills of the Andes, 650m above sea level. The area possesses excellent conditions for the production of high quality fruit.
Almost desert like, there are around 350 sunny days a year, with an average of 16°C temperature fluctuation between day and night during the growing season, pure air and clear light. Irrigation, using fresh, clean water from the Andes is carefully controlled. Around 800,000 cases are produced annually.
The wines reflect this unique climate developing excellent aromas, ripe, rich fruit, and complexity and giving consistent quality from year to year.
José Alberto Zuccardi, President of the family company La Agricola, which owns Santa Rosa estate, believes that vineyard management is the key to the ultimate success of the wines.
Always keen to innovate he has championed less common grapes such as Viognier and Tempranillo, which, under the skilful hands of winemaker Rodolfo Montenegro, have achieved widespread recognition
