2022 Zorzal, Garnacha

Det uimodståelige frugtdrevne visitkort fra Zorzal er denne rene Garnacha fra Corella, Cintruénigo, Fitero og Lerga-kommunerne håndhøstet, gæret og lagret på ståltank med 20% stilke. I den varmere 2022 årgang viser den uimodståelig frugt med hindbær, jordbærgrød, lakrids og læder. Saftig, levende og frugtig er denne svævende, silkebløde Garnacha udstyret med næsten utrolig renhed, harmoni og fokus – især når man tager prisen med i betragtningen. Det er rystende flot til denne pris. (-2026+) ***

92 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate: ”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.”
