Product description
La Zorra Original 2022 is the first and best-known wine from Bodega y Viñedos La Zorra, launched with the 2010 vintage and, ever since, the estate’s flagship wine. Made from grapes grown on vines over 60 years old, sourced from seven vineyards on slate, clay and granite soils in the Sierra de Salamanca. An early harvest is essential to preserve the wine’s freshness and acidity.
Following selection on the sorting table, complete destemming and gentle crushing, there is a cold pre-fermentation maceration lasting several days with manual pigeage. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation on the wine’s own yeasts takes place at a maximum of 23°C with two daily pump-overs. After racking and light pressing, malolactic fermentation takes place partly in used barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 14 months in 225-litre second-use French (70%) and American (30%) oak barrels.
Bright cherry red with garnet highlights. A frank aroma with a pronounced mineral character: blackthorn, candied plum, a hint of liqueur and undergrowth. Balsamic, with a light touch of oak that evokes sweet, spicy notes. Delicious and expressive, with ripe, fruity tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish.

To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
