Zuccardi has long been recognized as one of Argentina’s leading wineries. A DouxVin favorite for many years, this unique property was recently, once again, recognized as the World’s Best Vineyard & Best Vineyard in South America for the second year running.  Zuccardi’s many awards and highly rated wines are not a product of luck. The hard work and truly special location of this family-run vineyard are immediately recognizable in their incredible and unique wines.

A terrific introduction to, or refresher of, Zuccardi, is to indulge in the rare and enticing Legacy Collection, inspired by the stories of the Zuccardi family, the unique terroirs of the Uco Valley and what winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi and his team have discovered through many years of research. It includes wines that tell the stories of these unique people, and unique places.

I taste many wines every week, seeking interesting, special finds from small producers that are made with passion, care and focus with minimal interference and manipulation beyond what the fruit and terroir offer—a true artisanal approach. It’s rare that I am overwhelmed with excitement about a new wine, but Ferrer Bobet is one of those remarkable discoveries. A DouxVin Exlusive Offer Ferrer Bobet is the result of a passion for the world and culture of wine of two friends, Sergi Ferrer-Salat and Raül Bobet, and reflects their commitment to the economic and social development of Priorat. Their project was started in 2002, and in 2008 their first two wines were released. For their initial wines, Ferrer Bobet have used hundred-year old Carignane and Grenache vines planted on some of the best vineyards in Priorat. I was recently introduced to the astounding 2014 Ferrer Bobet “Vinyas Velles” (“Old Vines”) a blend of Carignane (70%) and Grenache (30%), from hundred-year-old vines in some of the best vineyards in Priorat. I loved it so much I bought the entire remaining inventory, resulting in an attractive cost that can be passed on to our clients. And the experts agree, this is an extraordinary wine: • “Very impressive and fleshy”. 18/20 Jancis Robinson •"Crème de la crème in the vintage". 96 Points Jeb Dunnuck •"Power and elegance". 94 Points Robert Parker •"Luscious but focused". 94 Points James Suckling •"Seamless and precise". 94 Points Vinous •"Focused, energetic and alluring". 94 Points Wine Spectator For delivery outside of California > CLICK HERE As always, these curated collections reflect our “all-in” pricing strategy that includes sales tax and CA delivery.
