9 The grapevine: Zorzal Wines From their pampas to our prairies

In less than 10 years, Zorzal Wines has gone from the vision of three wine impassioned Argentine brothers, to a success story with a Calgarian twist. Stemming from a partnership with a number of Calgary-based inves- tors, Zorzal has not only made its presence known in the world of wine, but has redefined what it means to be a prominent winery in Argentina.

By utilizing the best that Mendoza and the Uco Valley’s Gualtallary “It was my first time in South America and I fell in love,” Murray region have to offer, Zorzal is reclaiming creativity in the art of says. “I was skiing close to Santiago and there were some people wine making. Sitting at 1,350 metres above sea-level, the region’s from Mendoza at a wine and food celebration. They’d said I should highest point, Zorzal’s ingenuity in the crafting of new and exciting come back during wines is a direct result of the strong relationship between the summer and I’d Michelini brothers, Gerardo, Matías and Juan Pablo, and Zorzal’s enjoy Mendoza. Canadian shareholders — notably, the winery’s president, Bruce So when Dan Murray, and CFO, Dan Huras. approached me, I figured, I loved Prior to their involvement with Zorzal — a prospect first wine, I loved the introduced to Huras in late 2007 — both he and Murray had people, I wanted to found success within the oil and gas industry. Huras, whose past be involved.” work with the TransCanada Corporation saw him regularly traveling to South America, says his decision to get involved came Once Zorzal had from a love of wine, culture and the Argentine people. found its initial investors — of “When the opportunity came up to invest in a winery in Argentina, which Huras it was exciting and something I didn’t want to pass up,” Huras says. says there were “The people down there are fabulous and the city of Mendoza is around six — construction began on the winemaking facility. With absolutely beautiful.” the inclusion of state of the art equipment rivaled by few other Argentine wineries, the building was finished in 2009. Murray, a native Calgarian with more than 30-years of oil and gas expertise, says he first felt a connection to the area during a family During the 2008 construction, winemaker’s Matías and Juan Pablo ski trip to Chile in 2006. used another winery to develop a malbec selected to compete in a blind tasting held by Wines of Argentina. It was their first production as Zorzal and they finished first out of 1000 Argentine wineries.

Not unlike their wine selection, Zorzal’s list of awards is both diverse and

10 impressive. Wine & Spirits Magazine has twice, in back-to-back Echoing Murray, and speaking to the brothers’ eccentricity, Walker years, named the winery as one of the Top 100 in the world. says that the winery’s progress stems from the brother’s excitement about the future, pride in the past and a strong connection to the David Walker, vice-president of Vintage Trade, Zorzal’s nation- land and soils of their home. wide Canadian distributor, says that he can’t recall a winery as young as Zorzal being added to that list. “I’ve never seen Juan Pablo at a tasting without his guitar,” Walker says. “If there are hippies in Argentina, he’d probably be pleased to be called one. He’s very in touch with where he lives and I think you can tell that from what he’s creating.”

As the winery continues to flourish, shareholders — of which, Huras says there are now around 50, all but three being Canadian — have had the privilege of seeing Zorzal reaching as far as Iceland, Russia and Hong Kong, with the U.S., Brazil and Canada currently the company’s top three international markets.

Down the road, the winery is set to finish construction on an on-location retail store in 2015, and in several years will be able to utilize grapes planted in five hectares of uncultivated soil, meaning the resulting wines will be certified 100 per cent organic.

Zorzal’s success brings with it a new way of thinking about Canada’s place within the global wine industry. No, Calgary is never “There are so many amazing wineries out there now and the going to see anything close to the success of the Okanagan Valley fact that this little tiny upstart, this Calgary, Argentine winery, or Niagara-on-the-Lake in terms of production — it’s literally would jump to that level of international acclaim that quickly is impossible given our climate. But with Zorzal’s achievements, and spectacular,” Walker says. the strength of the Calgary, Argentine partnership, it’s amazing to think of how quickly Zorzal Wines and its Canadian shareholders Murray says that Zorzal’s character, success and the attention that have brought such a vibrant winery to life. comes with both, are due in large part to the brother’s creativity. Matías and Juan Pablo, Zorzal’s main winemakers, are two of the most highly respected craftsmen in the industry and have honed their skills everywhere from France to California. And like any true big brother, the oldest of the three, Gerardo, acts as Zorzal’s overseer. DAN HURAS PROVIDED BY PHOTOS

“The brothers’ creativity is the key when it comes to Zorzal,” Murray says. “We’ll be together, wine is always on the table, and they’ll try them all. And then they’ll mix them to play with flavours. They’re constantly pushing the limits.”

NOTE: Calgary is based upon a grid system, 21 with Streets running north-south and Avenues running east-west. Additionally, Calgary is divided into NENW, , SE & SW 14 quadrants. Each street name is followed by a suffix with its quadrant. This means that the intersection of 16th Avenue SW 11 & 32nd Street SW is in a very different 32 place than that of 16th Avenue NE & 32nd StreetNE .

Mejdool dates are stuffed then wrapped with country bacon, ladled with a rich smokey tomato sauce offer- ing tempting levels of sweet and heat. Served with ciabatta bread for dipping so you won’t miss a drop.

As beef is the specialty we chose the AAA California Cut Striploin. Thick and juicy, fork-tender sided with a house-made sauce of deca- dent blue cheese cream.

The Double Cut Pork Chop was a generous portion. Locally sourced, brined for 24 hours for extra tenderness and grilled to perfection. Topped with savory house made pear chutney providing extra depth to the already sweet, delicate richness of the pork.

Great choices for the table are the Truffle Mac and Cheese, Lobster Mashed Potatoes or Citrus Rosemary Mushrooms but don’t miss their “signature” Scallop Potatoes, probably the best we have had anywhere. Thinly sliced potatoes, layered rich and creamy served in a cast iron skillet bubbling hot and cheesy.

After dinner head down to the comfort- able lounge where locals and visitors alike enjoy fine cocktails and a lively Saltlik atmosphere. 221 Bear Street 403-762-2467 www.saltlik.com
