Viña Zorzal

Viña Zorzal is located in the Southern part of the Navarra DO, very close to the border of Rioja. The larger parent house of Vinícola Corellana was founded by Antonio Sanz in 1989. The guiding principles here have always been sustainability and a return to historical grape varieties. With the coming of age of Antonios' three sons, Xabier, Iñaki and Mikel, the winery Viña Zorzal was born. Like so many father/son stories, the children have adopted the idea of the father and taken it further. The farming is now organic and the focus is on making higher quality, site specific wines that respect history but also look to a brighter future.

Viña Zorzal Navarra Tempranillo

Viña Zorzal aspires to recapture the wines of their ancestors, and although Rioja dominates the conversation when it comes to Tempranillo, the variety belongs to the history of Navarra as well. Fresh fruit, medium body, balanced tannin and acid, this is simple in the very best way. Very fun to drink and very easy to finish the bottle.

Viña Zorzal Navarra Graciano

A unique wine from a grape usually found supporting the much more well known Tempranillo. Graciano shares the same root with the Spanish word for graceful. It is known for bringing lift and elegance to the blend. Hibiscus, anise and other lifted spice qualities are prevalant, along with darker fruit nuances and fine tannins. A lot of wine for the money.

Viña Zorzal "Malayeto" Navarra Tinto

This fresh and lively expression of garnacha roja from Viña Zorzal is a natural fit for just about any occasion. Raspberry and blackcurrant notes are tempered by a nuance of black tea and mineral. The finish has fine tannins and ripe fruit.  From old vines in a high elevation vineyard.  This is a peak into what Zorzal is up to outside the town of Fitero.  They are redefining Navarro wine with these high elevation, old vine plots.  Lots more to come from Zorzal and these vineyards.
