🍷 Zorzal – Eggo Franco
Argentina | Mendoza | Gualtallary, Uco Valley | 100% Cabernet Franc
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Fermented and aged entirely in concrete egg-shaped vats ("egg-o"), without oak, to preserve purity of fruit and highlight terroir expression. Native yeasts and minimal intervention reflect Zorzal’s commitment to natural winemaking
Farming: High-altitude organic vineyards in Gualtallary, rooted in calcareous soils and cooled by mountain breezes, giving the wine intensity, structure, and remarkable freshness
🥚 Cabernet Franc redefined—pure, mineral, and thrillingly vibrant.
👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with a vivid violet rim—youthful and expressive.
👃 On the Nose:
Bright and aromatic. Bursting with wild red berries, fresh herbs, bell pepper, and graphite, underpinned by crushed rock minerality and subtle floral lift.
👅 On the Palate:
Linear and energetic. Tart cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant ride over taut acidity and a textured, saline core. Fine tannins frame the wine’s juicy intensity, leading to a long, mineral-laced finish.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Superb with chargrilled vegetables, herbed pork loin, chimichurri-marinated beef, or lentil stew. A versatile red for both rustic and refined fare.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Stunning now for its electric vibrancy, but will develop beautifully over 5–8 years, gaining savoury depth and complexity.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Eggo Franco is a bold yet transparent expression of Argentine Cabernet Franc—no oak, no makeup, just purity and place. For wine lovers who crave energy, texture, and authenticity in every sip.
