Zorzal EGGO Tinto de Tiza 2014

This hand harvested, single vineyard wine from Gualtallary is a blend of 92% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique wine is completely fermented and aged in a large concrete egg and sees no oak. It is a dense, dark purple color with rich fruit flavors of blueberry and boysenberry, lilac and wet rain bounce on the nose, and has a strong mineral undertone of crushed wet rock and chalk. Eggo is the perfect combination of a chalky, terroir driven wine, with vibrant fruit and a long smooth finish.
