ABOUT THIS WINE
Viña Zorzal Garnacha Señora de Las Alturas is a 100% Garnacha red wine from the D.O. Navarra, Spain, specifically from the Ribera Baja sub-region. The wine originates from old Garnacha vines cultivated in Fitero, an area characterized by its elevated vineyards and stony soils, influenced by the Iberian mountain range. This wine is part of Zorzal Wines' 'terruño' project, aiming to highlight the typicity of the Fitero region. Zorzal Wines was established in 2007 by the Sanz brothers, who are committed to recovering native Navarra grape varieties and producing authentic, expressive wines with minimal intervention. The 2021 vintage in Navarra experienced more rainfall than in previous years, contributing to the wine's freshness.
