Unit price per
100% Pinot Noir
Founded in 2007 by the Michelini brothers, Zorzal is situated in the Gualtallary subregion of the Uco Valley. This high-elevation estate sits on a unique blend of sand, stones, and granitic limestone and all grapes are hand-harvested. Zorzal’s vision is to have a light hand in the winemaking so that the fruit and terroir can shine through. Under the guidance of head winemaker Juan Pablo Michelini and assistant winemaker Noelia Juri, the winery strives to produce elegant wines that showcase the minerality and cool climate of Gualtallary. By picking fruit earlier than most in Mendoza, Zorzal is able to retain freshness and acidity in their wines instead of the overblown ripeness that is too often seen from this region. The winery practices a combination of organic and sustainable farming.
This pale pink wine is crisp and vibrant with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and fresh cut watermelon, held up by a mineral backbone. The finish is refreshing with hints of ripe fig, tangerine, and crushed wet rock.
