Zuccardi Fosil San Pablo Chardonnay 2021 is a chiselled, mineral white from Argentina’s high Andes, exuding citrus, chalk, and freshness.

Taste
Fosil San Pablo Chardonnay 2021 offers crystalline citrus purity, with aromas of confit lemon, lime curd, and white peach. On the palate, it is taut and mineral-driven, combining mouthwatering acidity, chalky texture, saline notes and hints of green apple. The finish is long and expressive, showing creamy complexity from lees ageing, yet retaining a clean, energised profile reminiscent of fine Chablis.
Producer
Zuccardi, based in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, is renowned for its pioneering spirit and quest to express Argentina’s mountain terroirs.

The Fósil project is a single-vineyard Chardonnay grown at 1,400 metres altitude in San Pablo - one of the coldest sites in the region. Dedicated to innovation and environmental stewardship, Zuccardi is a two-time winner of “World’s Best Vineyard”.
