Tasting Notes: Zorzal Gran Terroir Gualtallary Malbec 2023
The palate bursts with intense notes of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, all layered over a refined core of chalky minerality — a hallmark of Gualtallary’s calcareous soils. Hints of violet, crushed stone, and subtle spice emerge, balanced by refreshing acidity and firm yet polished tannins. The finish is long, bold, and elegant, making this an outstanding Malbec for lovers of structured, terroir-driven wines.
Vineyard and Terroir
Grown at an altitude of 1,350 metres in the Albo vineyard, the grapes benefit from extreme diurnal temperature shifts, low rainfall, and soils rich in calcium carbonate and granite. These factors contribute to grapes with high polyphenolic concentration, exceptional ripeness, and vibrant acidity — all key to producing a Malbec of depth, balance, and ageing potential.
Winemaking
Crafted with precision and minimal intervention, the grapes were vinified in concrete vats saturated with CO₂, including 20% whole bunch fermentation for added complexity. Fermentation with native yeasts at 24°C enhances the purity of fruit, while ageing in French oak barrels (5% new) for 15 months lends subtle texture and integration without overpowering the fruit expression.
