Hatch Mansfield appointed as exclusive UK agent by Zuccardi for its Valle de Uco wines

Published:  13 May, 2019

Hatch Mansfield has been appointed as exclusive UK agent by Argentinian wine producer Familia Zuccardi for its Bodega Zuccardi Valle de Uco wines.

Zuccardi wines covered by the deal include the Finca, Aluvional, Fosil, Emma and Tito Zuccardi, Concreto, Poligonos, Q and Serie A ranges. The partnership does not cover wines from the family’s Bodega Santa Julia, which will continue to be distributed by Watermill Wines.

The new arrangement will come into effect on 1 October 2019. Zuccardi’s previous agent in the UK was Alliance Wines.

Patrick McGrath MW, managing director of Hatch Mansfield, said: “Argentina has been a notable gap in our portfolio and we are delighted to be representing Zuccardi.

“As pioneers in the region, they are recognised as producing sublime wines of the highest quality. They have a full tier of qualities offering something for every type of customer and consumer.

“We can see a huge opportunity for their wines in this market and look forward to building their business and profile in the UK. We already have some exciting plans in the pipeline.”

Familia Zuccardi was founded in Mendoza in 1963 by Alberto Zuccardi (current generation José Alberto Zuccardi and Sebastián Zuccardi pictured above). 

José Alberto Zuccardi, Familia Zuccardi’s managing director, said: “Our company is evolving fast in many exciting ways, and the chance to ally ourselves with such a great portfolio of wines as Hatch Mansfield’s will see a union of shared philosophies and a meeting of kindred spirits, and my whole family are hugely excited to be working with them.

“We have a strong history in the UK and we are very grateful to Alliance for all their efforts. This is a strategic move to expand our presence in this key market.”

Hatch Mansfield recently became one of the first wine agencies in the UK to receive an AA certificate for the BRC Global Standard for Agents and Brokers. It is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

Other producers in its portfolio include Champagne Taittinger, Louis Jadot, Viña Errazuriz, Caliterra and Villa Maria.
