Their parents and grandparents were happy running a commercially successful producer of clean, commercial-grade, inexpensive wines. But Brothers Xabi, Iñaki and Mikel Sanz wanted to do more, so they started Zorzal in 2007 to focus on the rockier, harder-to-farm, old vines of Fitero, Navarra. And today they are the benchmark for Garnacha, Tempranillo and more from this harsh, complex, region. This is their "intro" Garnacha, and it's gloriously fresh, full of fruit, and fun to drink. And rewards a little attention with an honest complexity that's hard to shake. Great with a burger or lamb, but try it with wildly spiced Indian and Asian food, too, for a special treat. The price is crazy low for the quality.
"The incredibly young and juicy 2020 Garnacha was produced with grapes from different villages, Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero and Lerga, hence a regional blend that for the first time contains grapes from the cooler Lerga that adds lower pH, more freshness and complexity to the blend. They do a soft extraction in stainless steel using 20% full clusters and indigenous yeasts, achieving a wine with moderate alcohol (13.47%) and good freshness (pH 3.47). I felt like the wine had gone one step up in complexity and depth from the previous vintage; it's precise, harmonious, elegant and nuanced and keeps varietal purity. It's medium-bodied and has very fine tannins with herbal freshness, reminiscent of acid berries and bay leaf."
