History and Passion
Discover Zorzal Wines
Our Home
Zorzal Wines was founded in 2008 by a group of Canadians with the purpose of introducing the world to the extraordinary wine region of Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. Today, the winery combines Canadian and Chilean capital.
Surrounded by 70 hectares of vineyards, we carry out every stage of the winemaking process in our winery, from crushing and fermentation to aging and storage.
Committed to the natural production of wines of the highest quality, we designed our winery on four levels to allow gravity transport, minimizing the use of pumps and respecting the purity of the grapes as much as possible.
We craft terroir-driven wines based on our interpretation of Gualtallary, striving to capture its essence and elevate the identity of the terroir in every glass.
Our Earth
In this elevated corner of Tupungato, Zorzal draws its strength from the mountains, located in one of the highest wine regions of Mendoza, with the majestic Tupungato volcano as a backdrop.
Here, the freshness of the Andes and the predominance of calcareous soils give rise to fresh, elegant wines with character and vibrant acidity.
Our Winemakers
At Zorzal, our winemakers are the guides. With passion, each one imprints their vision and unique style. Together, they explore the diversity of our land, creating wines that tell a singular story in every glass.

The Winery
In our quest to reflect the purity of our terroir, we constantly innovate in our minimal intervention winemaking. Throughout our history, we have incorporated concrete eggs and amphorae, among other vessels, as well as implementing staggered harvests and micro-vinifications.
In our barrel room, we give ourselves to time. Some of our wines rest in used barrels, thus avoiding excessive aromatic contributions from the toasting of the wood. This results in fine, elegant wines that highlight the characteristics of the place.
During the raising process in concrete eggs, our wines offer the possibility to explore the purest result of our precision agriculture and the special care of our vineyard plots.
Our Awards
Our wines have been internationally recognized for their quality and authenticity. These awards reflect our commitment to excellence, innovation, and dedication to capturing the essence of our terroir in every bottle.
