Product Notes

Zuccardi Malamado Fortified Malbec is an extraordinary, Argentinean fortified wine. This Malbec extends an indulgent fragrance of prunes, figs, and chocolate, complemented by a plush, full-bodied palate. Hues of red-ruby dominate the glass, gleaming with inviting richness. Further exploration reveals layers of complexity offering notes of spicy black fruits adorned with a hint of sweetness. The oak ageing imparts a touch of vanilla and provides a soft yet persistent finish. Zuccardi Malamado's sophistication and strength make it an ideal wine for pairing with blue cheese or dark chocolate, epitomising Argentina's prowess in Malbec production.

Tasting Notes

A soft purple colour with aromas of over ripened plums, dried figs andnuts. A complex sweet wine with spicy tones of cinnamon and toasted almonds.
