Zorzal

Tupungato Malbec and Cabernet Franc from Mendoza's high-altitude Uco Valley.

Zorzal operates in Tupungato, the high-altitude heart of Mendoza's Uco Valley, where cool nights and intense sunlight forge wines of structure and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on Malbec and Cabernet Franc—varieties that thrive in this terroir's demanding conditions. El Barba Malbec, the flagship expression, demonstrates the dark fruit intensity and tannin architecture that define the region's best work. Eggo Franco, a Cabernet Franc, and Eggo Malbec round out the core range, each capturing the precision that altitude and diurnal temperature swing impart to Uco Valley fruit. These wines have drawn assessment from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff, establishing a presence among serious critics. Zorzal's focus remains on the interplay between varietal character and site expression—the mineral tension and dark berry complexity that emerge when Malbec and Cabernet Franc meet Tupungato's exacting conditions.
