Zorzal, El Barba Malbec, Gualtallary, Tupungato, 2017

‘El Barba introduced us to a new Gualtallary,’ says Juan Pablo Michelini, referring to the iconic label from Zorzal Wines, a Malbec grown in dunes of sand and limestone. Dominated by aromas of fresh dark fruit, mineral notes and wet stone, in the mouth it is linear and energetic, with a light touch imparted by the two years spent in oak. An essential wine for the curious minded.
