Zorzal Gran Terroir Chardonnay 2020 750ml

Our 'Gran Terroir' come from vineyards planted at altitude which give life to complex and aromatic wines, given the thermal difference that occurs between day and night during maturation. Its special character, complexity and structure are given by aging in French and American oak barrels.

View: bright green with golden flashes.

Nose: of great mineral complexity, with the presence of graphite, gunpowder and nuts.

Palate: it is a wine of tension, fine textures and a very long finish.

For this Gran Terroir, winemaker Juan Pablo Michelini selects chardonnay vines from vineyards with sandy and calcareous soils in Gualtallary, toward the northern end of the Uco Valley, and more than 1,300 meters up in an area known as "Gualtallary Albo." The wine begins its fermentation in cement eggs and ends it in 500-liter barrels, where it also aged for about 10 months. The wine has the imprint of the place—the saline notes and the firm acidity—but the ripeness of the fruit flavors and the toasted touches from the oak are also added here and lend complexity. A creamy, succulent wine.
