The wine

In the short time since it was set up, Viña Zorzal has become one of the reference wineries in Navarre. In fact, it has taken just over a quarter of a century for the colourful bird on their wine labels to become an unmistakeable symbol of quality wines. What is behind Viña Zorzal's success? An excellent knowledge of each of their vineyards allows them to get the very best results from their fruit and produce a wonderful range of great wines. And Viña Zorzal Garnacha is undoubtedly a splendid example of their work.

A wine offering a firm expression of the honesty and freshness of its terroir as well as a strong commitment to ecological principles and the utmost respect for the environment. Low yields are harvested early to conserve the fruit’s freshness and then undergo a spontaneous fermentation process with local yeasts. The finished wine is bottled with the least intervention possible, just a simple clarification and filtering. All in all, it is a faithful reflection of a terroir and a vintage.

What does this wine taste like?

Viña Zorzal Garnacha displays a bright, medium-intensity ruby red colour in the glass. It delights us with the clear and concentrated aromas of wild fruit, spices and dust it obtains purely from the qualities the grapes and vineyard deliver as the wine is not fermented or aged in wood. Dry and fresh in the mouth, with smooth tannins and a medium body, it is a mineral wine with a lingering finish. It maintains the primary freshness and acidity of its grapes thanks to the use of whole bunches of grapes with their stems during the vinification, especially in dry years. Although it is the basic starter red wine in the winery's collection, its unquestionable quality offers an amazing value for money. A splendidly juicy wine packed with flavour which seems to get better and better with every vintage. Fortunately, about 137,000 bottles are made every year!

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The regular red 2022 Garnacha was produced with grapes from the whole region—Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero and now also Lerga—from their earliest harvest ever under very warm weather, and it fermented with 20% full clusters and was bottled early and unoaked. It has contained ripeness, 13.41% alcohol, berry fruit, hints of licorice and a touch of honey and beeswax. It is primary and has a medium body and a juicy mouthfeel with good grip and tension, more serious than the nose points at, with some chalkiness and without any heaviness or heat. Purity. This is fresher than anticipated after the torrid 2022 summer. 146,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.

The winery

Viña Zorzal

Viña Zorzal

Within a very short time, Viña Zorzal has become an absolute benchmark among Navarra wines. The bird on its labels is a symbol which we unquestionably associate with excellent quality wines originating from the Navarra DO, and also from the Rioja DOQ, under the name of el El Inquilino.
