Winemaker Notes

Santa Julia El Zorrito is the first organic and natural orange wine from Bodega Santa Julia and reflects their mission to develop wines in an organic and sustainable way, coexisting with the environment instead of attacking it.

Golden yellow in color, El Zorrito stands out for its floral aromas of tropical white fruits and orange peel. On the palate, fresh and bold acidity.

    A well-made chardonnay naranjo here with lemony fruit, yellow pears and some apricots. Creamy and nicely chewy on the palate with bright acidity and a fine, chewy structure. A saline twist in the finish. 45 days fermented on lees. Pretty flavorful. From organically grown grapes. No sulphites added.

    The new "orange," "natural" white 2022 El Zorrito Natural was produced with organic Chardonnay form Maipú and has only 12.5% alcohol and very good freshness and high acidity. This is the wildest of the "natural" range of wines produced with no addition of sulfur, part of skins and part of full clusters, and it has a note from the stem, a little ashy and spicy, with textbook appearance of "orange," amber and golden with some cloudiness and some funky aromas. The palate is finely textured, and it is very nice in the style, clean and very affordable.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Mendoza Wine

Argentina

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
