A big wine of huge concentration and grip. Spice and black fruit combine to deliver a Californian mammoth of enormous concentration & extraction. (12 x 75 cl)
The Old Vine Zinfandel is deliciously dark-fruited and savoury-spiced. Deep ruby in colour, this wine combines spicy, lush black fruit from Alexander Valley with cooler Dry Creek Valley fruit that offers structure and Zinfandel’s classic briary and raspberry flavours. Full-bodied dark berry fruits are supported by silky oak tannins, layers of concentrated flavours and a long, spicy finish. In 1895, Edoardo Seghesio planted his first vineyard in America to Zinfandel. Today, four generations of grape growers later, half of the Seghesio family's 400 acres of vineyard are planted with Zinfandel. While the American government controls most wine labelling, they have no classification for "Old Vines." The Seghesio family’s benchmark is 60 years old and older, while the average age of the vines used for the ‘Old Vines’ Zinfandel is 90 years old. (12 x 75 cl)
In honor of the many old Zinfandel vines that were overlooked for decades in Sonoma County, Forgotten Vines Zinfandel is comprised of several exemplary old vine vineyards. Fermented using a combination of open top and closed top fermenters, this wine was barrel aged for 12 months before bottling.BR (6 x 75 cl)
