Zorzal Eggo Franco Cabernet Franc

This hand harvested, single vineyard wine from Gualtallary is composed of 100% hand harvested Cabernet Franc. This unique wine is completely fermented and aged in a large concrete egg and sees no oak. This subtle and nuanced wine shows soft plush tannins with raspberries, ripe black currant and an underlying chalk-driven finish. Fresh wet soil, hazelnuts, figs, and savory spice dominate this earth-driven wine. Herbal and candied fruit scents, with notes of cow blood and iron, are common. The lack of oak brings out the bare tannins and adds an earthy note, which is a big part of Gualtallary’s wild side. The Eggo wines showcase the perfect combination of a chalky, terroir driven wine, with vibrant fruit and a long smooth finish.
