Profile
Description
Zorzal is based in Gualtallary, the highest-elevation portion of Mendoza's Uco Valley. At 1350 meters above sea level, vineyards enjoy hot, sunny days and rapidly-cooling nights, which helps grapes ripen slowly and retain their natural acidity. That acidity is so critical in white wines like this 100% Sauvignon Blanc, where it adds energy and a refreshing, citrusy zip. Hand harvested grapes are destemmed and fermented with wild yeast in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and the finished wine is aged for a further two months before bottling. More mineral-driven and austere than most Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand, this example is more reminiscent of French examples of this classic grape. Serve at a well-chilled 8 C and enjoy over the next two years.
Pairing
Naturally high acidity and herbaceous, lemony freshness make this a perfect match for asparagus risotto or raw oysters, or enjoy on its own as an aperitif.
Aromas and Flavours
Lemon-lime
Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.
Herbs
Your windowsill herb garden gives off a lovely herbal smell every time you walk by.
Apple
From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.
Grass
The invigorating smell of a freshly-mowed lawn before the heat of the day takes over.
Stone
Remember playing with pebbles as a child and giving them a lick out of curiosity?
