Viña Zorzal Cuatro del Cuatro 2021

Viña Zorzal Cuatro del Cuatro is named (fourth of the fourth) after the birthday of the current winery owners’ father, Antonio Sanz, the creator of the Viña Zorzal brand. It is made exclusively from Graciano grapes which, in itself, demonstrates the braveness and strong character of the wine and its producers. Antonio was fascinated by this variety, so common in Rioja blends, and made a firm commitment to its potential for single-variety wines. An intense and very limited-production wine, it is made using grapes from 40-year-old vines located in Corella, which has a warmer climate than other parts of Navarre, enabling the fruit to ripen perfectly. The best bunches of grapes are collected in small crates and the must then ferments with local yeasts in large French oak barrels before being stood to age in 300-litre barrels. Only the wine that evolves the best is kept as part of the definitive mixture used for the 3,000 bottles of Viña Zorzal Cuatro del Cuatro.
