Zuccardi Malamado Fortified Malbec 75cl

Zuccardi Malamado Fortified Malbec

Argentina’s pioneering fortified Malbec, created by the renowned Zuccardi family in Mendoza. Inspired by traditional Port-style winemaking, this unique expression captures the richness of Malbec while preserving the grape’s vibrant fruit character through fortification during fermentation.

The result is a luxurious and beautifully balanced fortified wine, combining ripe dark fruit intensity with elegant sweetness, fine tannins and refreshing structure.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Zuccardi

Zuccardi is one of Argentina’s most respected family-owned wineries, founded in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi in Mendoza. Originally established with a focus on agricultural innovation, the family quickly recognised the potential of Argentina’s vineyards and developed a reputation for combining research, sustainability and a deep understanding of terroir.

Today, the third generation of the Zuccardi family leads the winery, with Sebastián Zuccardi at the forefront of its viticultural and winemaking philosophy. The estate’s vineyards are located across the Uco Valley, where high-altitude sites, mineral-rich soils and the influence of the Andes create ideal conditions for producing distinctive wines with freshness, elegance and complexity.

Zuccardi is known for its pioneering work in exploring vineyard sites, soil diversity and regional expression, particularly with Malbec and other Argentine varieties. Through sustainable farming, minimal intervention and a strong focus on place, the winery continues to redefine the potential of Mendoza’s wines on the world stage.
