Currently the winery is run by head winemaker Juan Pablo Michelini with Noelia Juri as assistant winemaker. The winery and vineyards are located in the Gualtallary subregion of the Uco Valley at approximately 4800 feet above sea level. The estate sits on a unique blend of sand, stones, and granitic limestone and the grapes are all hand-harvested. Zorzal’s vision is to have a light hand in the winemaking so that the fruit and terroir can shine through. They strive to produce elegant wines that showcase the minerality and cool climate of Gualtallary. The winery practices a combination of organic and sustainable farming and tends to pick earlier than most in Mendoza to retain freshness and acidity in their wines instead of the overblown.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Colab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488333144381,"sku":"ZZMAL","price":287.88,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/18920-1.jpg?v=1729032374"},{"product_id":"zorzal-terroir-unico-chardonnay-2020-argentina","title":"Zorzal Terroir Unico Chardonnay 2020 (Argentina)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Chardonnay has golden tones with highlights of brilliant green.
