The 2022 Chardonnay Fosil hails from Zuccardi's San Pablo Vineyard in the Uco Valley. It was aged in 75% concrete vats, with the remainder going into used French oak barrels. In the glass, it's yellow with a greenish sheen. The complex aromas range from green apple peel to chamomile, lime, and mountain herbs such as huacatay, with a pastry backdrop adding further depth. On the palate, it's lean and dry with a chalky texture and refreshingly tart acidity. The vibrant character is a showcase for the terroir with its austere, herbal notes. Better to keep it for another couple of years to let it truly come into its own.

Fresh and clean, with flint and floral accents to the pear, citrus and apple core, and plenty of acidity lifting the flavors onto the finish where a hint of epazote chimes in. Drink now. 3,300 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
