Zorzal EGGO Franco 2017

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, hazel nuts, figs, and savory spice dominate this barnyard and earth driven wine. The Eggo wines showcase the perfect combination of a chalky, terroir driven wine, with vibrant fruit and a long smooth finish.
