Zorzal Gran Terroir Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 brings the high vineyards of Gualtallary into focus. From Tupungato in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, this Argentine red is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard’s altitude and stony, calcium-rich ground give it a fresh, mineral edge alongside its dark fruit and fine structure. It is a wine for a slow dinner, a generous glass, and food with real flavour.
🍷 In the glass, expect a deep red colour with violet highlights. The nose opens with red and dark fruit, black and white pepper, oregano, flowers and a touch of mineral character. On the palate it is fresh and lively, with textured yet juicy tannins and a long finish. French oak ageing adds depth without obscuring the fruit. Give it a little time in the glass and the savoury and floral details become easier to pick out.
🍽️ Pour it alongside grilled steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef, mushroom dishes or mature hard cheese. The combination of fruit, acidity and tannin makes it especially comfortable with charred or richly seasoned food. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider opening the bottle before the meal or decanting briefly if you prefer a softer first impression. This is a thoughtful choice for Cabernet Sauvignon drinkers who enjoy freshness as much as power.
