Join Winemaker Xabi Sanz of Vina Zorzal (Navarra, Spain) as he talks to Pierre about his vineyards, passion for garnacha and graciano, and terroir in our first virtual wine event of 2021.
*
Brothers Xabi and Iñaki run the forward-thinking Zorzal estate, whose wines are always among the most popular at our annual Spanish tastings. Whether that’s down to Xabi’s charm and relaxed attitude or the quality of their old-vine, new-style wines is up for debate; but we believe it’s a perfect combination – one that makes him an ideal candidate to share their story with as many members as possible online.
The winery, based in the Ribero Baja area of Navarra, produces wines from the family’s 70 hectares of vines. Whilst they specialise in old-vine garnacha and graciano, the estate also grows tempranillo, mazuelo, merlot and cabernet sauvignon.
