THE GRAPES ARE HARVESTED BY HAND IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF GUALTALLARY (UPPER, CENTER AND LOW), WHERE THE DIVERSITY OF THIS TERROIR IS ACHIEVED IN EACH BOTTLE.
THEY ARE FRANK, HONEST AND WELL-BALANCED WINES WITH THE MINERALALITY TYPICAL OF CALCAREOUS SOILS. THE GRAPES ARE PRESSED AND FERMENTED WITH NATIVE YEAST IN CONCRETE, WITH THE CLEAR PURPOSE OF OBTAINING HONEST WINES WITH NERVE.
GRAN TERROIR / #gualtalbo
THESE WINES COME FROM A SINGLE VINEYARD, LOCATED IN THE UPPER CENTRAL SECTOR OF GUALTALLARY, CALLED ALBO. IT HAS STONEY SOIL, WITH A HIGH PRESENCE OF CALCIUM CARBONATE AND GRANITE. AGEING IS FOR 12 MONTHS IN FRENCH OAK BARRELS OF THIRD USE OR MORE, WITH THE PURPOSE OF NOT INTERVENING EXCESSIVELY WITH WOOD, BUT TO IMPART THE FINESSE AND ELEGANCE OF OAK.
EGGO / MODERNITY
THESE SINGLE VINEYARD WINES ARE A LINE WHERE WE WANT TO EXPRESS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY, WHERE THE TRENDS ARE TO ENHANCE AND PRESERVE THE PURITY OF EACH VARIETY, AND AT THE SAME TIME TO PRESERVE THE LIVING EXPRESSION OF THE TERROIR.
AT ZORZAL WE WERE PIONEERS IN LATIN AMERICA IN THE USE OF CONCRETE EGGS PRODUCED IN ARGENTINA. THE ENTIRE EGGO LINE IS VINIFIED IN THESE EGGS.
CONCEPTUAL / BEYOND TERROIR
THESE ARE SIGNATURE WINES CREATED WITH THE HEART, WHICH GO BEYOND THE TERROIR.
FIELD BLEND
THIS WINE REPRESENTS THE FINESSE AND ELEGANCE OF GUALTALLARY. IT IS A BLEND MADE IN THE VINEYARD, WHERECABERNET SAUVIGNON AND MALBEC GRAPES ARE HARVESTED ON THE SAME DAY AND FERMENTED TOGETHER. THE BLEND IS AGED IN FRENCH OAK BARRELS FOR 24 MONTHS.
PORFIADO
UNIQUE AMONG ZORZAL WINES, PORFIADO IS A NON-VINTGAGE BLEND OF PINOT NOIR WINES FROM THE SAME VINEYARD OVER MANY YEARS.
IT IS A WINE OF A UNIQUE AROMATIC COMPLEXITY, WITH MULTIPLE NOTES OF ELEGANT MINERALITY AND HAS LOVELY LONG FINISH.
PIANTAO
PIANTAO IS A CLASSIC GUALTALLARY WINE, MAINLY CABERNET FRANC WITH MALBEC, AND A TOUCH OF CABERNET SAUVIGNON, IT HAS SPENT 3 YEARS IN THE BARREL AND IS A WINE WITH GREAT AGEING POTENTIAL.
WE THINK THAT “THE” WINES THAT REPRESENT THE REGION WILL BE MALBEC AND CABERNET FRANC. THESE TWO COMPONENTS WILL BE THE BACKBONEOF GUALTALLARY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE.
