A 100% Chardonnay from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley.
VINEYARDS: Sandy soils of shallow or medium size depth.
VINTAGE: The 2023 vintage was warm and very dry, which gave us excellent health and quality in the grapes. It is a year that is also characterized by lower yields, due to the frost in the spring of 2022. Knowing the particularities of each place in the vineyards allowed us to define the harvest time for each area very precisely, always in search of freshness, the expression of place and avoiding over ripeness.
WINEMAKING: Selection of bunches. Direct pressing. Fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats. Aged in concrete vats. No malolactic fermentation.
“If Fósil is Zuccardi’s Puligny-Montrachet, then Botánico is the bodega’s Meursault, give or take the lack of oak. Buttery, creamy, textured and intense, it’s a layered, complex Gualtallary white with aromas of aniseed and chamomile and a focused, thrilling palate of lemon zest and beeswax. 2025-312" - 96 points, Tim Atkin, June 2024.
“A rising star in the Familia Zuccardi portfolio, the 2023 Chardonnay Botánico comes from their vineyards in Gualtallary, Tupungato. Fermented and aged in concrete, the warm 2023 vintage saw harvest occur nearly a week earlier than in 2022, as early as the beginning of February. The 2023 reveals subtle herbal aromas of vermouth, lavender and herbs with a hint of hops. Broad and fairly rich, with good tension on the palate, it finishes with a touch of green apple. A true reflection of its origins, its chalky texture defines the mouthfeel.” - 96 points, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Nov 2024.
“This is a very contrasty white with a hint of tropical fruit to the apple and mineral aromas that follow through to a bright and vivid palate. Lovely acidity that gives it length and intensity. A new wine. Think grand cru Chablis. Drink or hold.” - 95 points, James Suckling, May 2024.
“Deriving from three sites in the Monestario section of Gualtallary, the 2023 Botánico leads with a high-toned, citrus-driven, herbal and balsamic bouquet followed by a similarly electric and focused palate. It concludes with a long, tensile, bracing finish that regenerates the herbal perfume first observed on the nose and lingers with crushed-stone nuances. This is an expressive, linear representation of contemporary Argentine Chardonnay.” - 94 points, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, May 2025.
