A brand-new addition to Vina Zorzal’s acclaimed range, this is their first village wine from Lerga in Baja Montaña – an area in Navarra that receives more rainfall and is less prone to drought. Vina Zorzal has become the custodian for almost half the vineyards in this unique spot, which had fallen into disarray and faced an uncertain future.
Under their care, these vines have flourished once again, and we can enjoy ‘Golerga’ as the fruits of their labour. Silky and plush, with a broad palate bursting with dark fruit, cherry, blueberries, and fragrant violet. A masterclass of Navarra Garnacha.
Navarra is much less well known than neighbouring Rioja, but they are both rich in the Grenache and Graciano grapes, and wines can have similar characters. The Sanz brothers - Iñaki, Xabi and Mikel - started working with their father in 2007. They work with mainly higher altitude plots and are carefully nurturing the older bush vines that grow there.
With the brothers onboard the project took a new direction, focusing on the terroir and old vines around Fitero, on the edge of the Ebro River valley at the base of the Iberian mountains. They are mapping their vineyards by soil type so they can make a Burgundy-style classification of their Garnacha wines.
These bright, juicy reds and pure, textured whites are full of character and show the potential of this often-overlooked area. Luis Gutiérrez describes Zorzal as: "one of the most dynamic producers not only in Navarra but in the whole of Spain!"
