Description
“A new addition to the Aluvional series is the 2021 Aluvional San Pablo, derived from vines planted in 2013 and entirely destemmed. It leads with a dusty, dark-fruited and savory nose, introducing a rich, enveloping and slow-moving palate that offers a more plush profile than the comparatively slender Altamira and Gualtallary bottlings. It concludes with a similarly rich, dense finish that balances contained opulence with lifted focus. This is a fantastic debut and a beautiful addition to the Aluvional range.” 95+pts, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, May 25
“Hailing from San Pablo in the Uco Valley’s mountain foothills, the 2021 Malbec Aluvional San Pablo spent up to a year in concrete vats before bottling. This bright purple wine opens with primary aromas of wild herbs and raspberry, faint hints of ash and a touch of chili. The palate is lean and fresh, with juicy acidity and a light, chalky texture—a deliciously taut expression from the Andes.” 94pts, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Nov 24
“It was a very smart move by the Zuccardis to invest in San Pablo, as the Uco Valley subregion is producing some of Argentina’s best reds. This is a classic, high-altitude style of Malbec, with jarilla and lavender aromas, plenty of zip and acidity, some subtle stony reduction and a core of redcurrant, plum and black cherry fruit. 2026-35.” 96pts, Tim Atkin, Jun 24
