Zolo Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Zolo Cabernet Sauvignon originates from Argentina, specifically from the Mendoza region and the high-altitude subregions of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú. The winery was founded by Patricia Ortiz, a prominent figure in South American viticulture who focuses on producing wines with elegance and a distinct terroir identity. The brand name is a playful tribute to her husband, who was often left 'solo zolo' while she worked at the estate. Under the technical guidance of renowned winemakers Fabián Valenzuela and Jean Claude Berrouet—the former winemaker of the legendary Petrus—the winery emphasizes sustainable practices and estate-grown fruit.
Wine Description
This red wine typically presents a deep red or ruby colour in the glass. The sensory profile is fruit-forward and expressive, featuring a nose of ripe red berries, plums, and cassis, often accented by a hint of black pepper and vanilla. On the medium-to-full-bodied palate, it is described as complex and balanced, delivering flavours of juicy berry fruit and cassis supported by sweet, smoothly rendered tannins. The finish is satisfying and persistent, showcasing subtle notes of oak and spice.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
ABV: Typically 13.8% to 13.9%.
Organic Status: While the winery is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, this specific wine is generally noted as sustainable rather than certified organic.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is crafted in a New World style that retains freshness; the Reserve tier undergoes approximately eight months of oak ageing to add complexity and polished tannins.
