Zorrito, The Little Fox, by Santa Julia (Zuccardi) is an impressive orange wine. This organic, natural wine from Mendoza is made from 100% Chardonnay, fermented on the skins for 45 days. Unfiltered, vegan, and made with minimal intervention, it checks all the boxes for a "natural" wine while maintaining clean flavors and refreshing acidity.
Expect an amber-colored wine with aromas of apricot, lemon, orange peel, and a distinct floral blossom note. On the palate, it shows a bold structure, medium to full body, and a tannin-like texture from the extended skin contact.
The wine received 90 points from Vinous and 92 points from James Suckling—an impressive score for a natural, skin-contact wine. Pair it with hummus or Mediterranean dishes for a perfect match.
