Product Notes

Zorzal EGGO Filoso Pinot Noir is a complex and elegant wine from the renowned Argentinean winery, Zorzal. It is made from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes that are harvested by hand and fermented in small concrete tanks. This wine undergoes a unique winemaking process where it is aged in egg-shaped concrete vats, which allows the wine to develop its own natural complexity and expressiveness. The result is a wine with an intense ruby red color and a delicate aroma of fruits, spices, and herbs. On the palate, it is smooth and well-balanced, with flavors of ripe red fruits, vanilla, and smoke. The Zorzal EGGO Filoso Pinot Noir is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who crave a sophisticated and flavorful wine.

Tasting Notes

An intense Pinot Noir, in which the calcareous terroir is perfectly distinct with aromas of gunpowder, graphite and chalk. On the palate it has an incredible texture, electric and sharpness, from which it gained its name of Filoso (sharp) in Spanish. A wine of great length and persistence.

About the Winery

Zorzal

Zorzal, the Argentinian wine brand, was established in 2008, to reflect the immense wine potential of the Gualtallary region to the entire world. Ever since its inception, the group has been working hard so that the wines created here are true representations of the unique natural extravaganza of the Gualtallary region. Located in Tupungato towards the north of the Uco Valley in the Mendoza Province, this region is known for its high-altitude vineyards.

Here, the vineyards are planted at a height of around 1200 to 1600m above sea level, which makes them the best place to produce terroir wines, the speciality of the Zorzal label. The Zorzal winery is set up in such a way that it uses sophisticated technology to ensure that the grapes are processed naturally with minimal use of machinery. The winery is constructed on four levels, to allow for natural transportation of the grapes with the help of gravity, so that the dependence on pumps would be reduced to a considerable extent.

The use of roll fermenters, cement eggs and other advanced machinery for the grinding, fermenting and guarding processing ensure that the flavor and intensity of the fruits are retained even when the wines are bottled. The temperature-controlled French oak barrels, foudres and cement eggs used in the winery, help to keep the balance, purity, life and minerality of the wines intact.

The wine ranges are of different categories. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are used for making the Terroir Unico range, which is cultivated in different altitudes of the Gualtallary area. The Gran Terroir range is made from fruits grown only in the Albo region in central Gualtallary.  The Eggo line of wines is the modern range of wines that use cement eggs for fermentation and ageing. The conceptual range of wines aren’t limited by the Gualtallary region and are created by passionate winemakers.
