Description
Viña Zorzal is a highly respected producer in Navarra with a particular focus on Garnacha. The grapes for this wine are from a north facing vineyard in Corral de Los Altos planted in 1978. The site is at the top of a high plateau, the northerly “cierzo” wind keeps temperatures down and slows ripening. Soils are a mix of clay, sand and large limestone rich pebbles. Ageing is in old 500 litre French oak barrel.
On the nose, clove, black fruit, followed by soft cherry and ripe fruit aromas. The palate is very soft, full-bodied and powerful, with a long, balanced and nice aftertaste. It has a wonderful balance of elegance and structure.
