✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Malamado (often referred to as Malmado) represents a pioneering chapter in Argentine viticulture as the country's first fortified Malbec, created by Familia Zuccardi. The name itself is a clever portmanteau of 'Malbec a la manera de Oporto'—Malbec in the style of Port. This innovative dessert wine is crafted from late-harvested Malbec grapes grown in Mendoza. During fermentation, high-proof wine spirit is added to halt the yeast activity, preserving the natural grape sugars while elevating the alcohol level. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for approximately two years. This process yields a rich, complex elixir boasting deep notes of ripe plums, dried figs, quince, and sweet spices, showcasing a completely different, decadent dimension of Argentina's signature grape.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Familia Zuccardi blev grundlagt i Mendoza i 1963 af Alberto Zuccardi og har siden udviklet sig til et af Argentinas mest visionære og prestigefyldte familiedrevne vindynastier. Under ledelse af José Alberto Zuccardi og tredjegenerations-vinmageren Sebastián Zuccardi har vinhuset rettet sit primære fokus mod højtbeliggende vindyrkning i Uco Valley. Her har de været pionerer inden for dybdegående geologiske jordbundsanalyser og gæring på neutrale betontanke for at fremhæve vinenes autentiske terroiroprindelse. Fra topmoderne vinerier som det anmelderroste Piedra Infinita i Paraje Altamira skaber Zuccardi skelsættende, mineralske Malbec-vine – heriblandt Finca Piedra Infinita – samt enestående fortolkninger af Bonarda og Cabernet Sauvignon fordelt over både rød-, hvid-, mousserende og hedvin.
