Vina Zorzal Garnacha Blanca 2024

Viña Zorzal's Garnacha Blanca is a dry, medium-bodied white from Navarra, Spain, showing what this variety can do when it's grown in the right place and handled with care. This is Garnacha Blanca at its most expressive – stone fruit, citrus, beeswax, and that characteristic texture that makes it so food-friendly. A great alternative for those of you who like to drink Grauburgunder.

Lying in the south of Navarra, Viña Zorzal is a project run by three brothers who inherited the estate from their parents. While they're best known for their great work with Garnacha, recuperating old vineyards and focusing on high altitude, bush-vine fruit, their Garnacha Blanca shows the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.

What you get is pure Garnacha Blanca – stone fruit, citrus, beeswax, and that characteristic weight and texture that sets it apart from lighter white varieties. There's depth and complexity here, with enough structure to be interesting but nothing heavy or overdone. The wine has a lovely textural quality that makes it incredibly versatile with food.

The high altitude vineyards give the wine freshness and acidity, preventing it from becoming too rich or flabby. The result is a balanced, characterful white that over-delivers for the price, showing what makes Navarra such an exciting region for Spanish wine.

Serve it cool (not cold) with rich fish dishes, poultry, creamy sauces, Asian cuisine, or aged cheeses. This is honest, textured Spanish white at a great price, perfect for those looking for something with more weight and character than typical whites.
