Vina Zorzal Navarra Garnacha Blanca 2024

They picked the grapes for the varietal white 2024 Garnacha Blanca quite early to produce the fresh profile they like, with 12.6% alcohol, a pH of 3.18 and 6.45 grams of acidity, thus avoiding the heavy and alcoholic wines Garnacha Blanca can produce when picked too late. They used grapes from the village of Fitero to ferment it in stainless with indigenous yeasts, and it matured mostly in concrete but also in a 2,000-liter Stockinger foudre, a 1,500-liter used foudre, five new 500-liter French oak barrels and two 700-liter concrete eggs. It?????s super pale and more reductive, flinty, still very young and serious. It has a clean, elegant and precise nose, with good freshness and less volume, sharper and precise, more vertical, with great finesse. It makes you salivate. They are moving toward more time in bottle and less in wood/concrete for their wines in general. They really like 2024 for whites. This wine really transcends the price. 23,200 bottles were produced. It was bottled in July 2025.

They used grapes from the village of Fitero to ferment the must in stainless with indigenous yeasts. The wine matured mostly in concrete, a 2,000-liter Stockinger foudre and five new 500-liter French oak barrels. It's fresh, floral and elegant, with purity and balance, a spicy touch from the wood. It has a very tasty finish and even a salty twist, super fresh with lots of finesse. It has volume and freshness, the vibrancy from an early harvest and the contained ripeness and alcohol. This is the style they wanted for this wine and took the time to find it; it's more Burgundian than Mediterranean, to me. It should age nicely in bottle. And a bargain.
