Fetzer DUAL VARIETAL ZinfandelShiraz California
Description: This wine is a blend of 62% Zinfandel and 38% Syrah. Here, the Zinfandel grapes used in this wine come from several key coastal Zinfandel regions, including San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, and Mendocino counties. The Shiraz grapes come from key vineyards in California's Central Valley. This area has rich deep soils and lots of warm sunshine that is balanced by the cooling of the delta breeze that runs off the Sacramento River Delta into the San Francisco Bay. This dark and rich wine was fermented with 50% whole berries. The grapes received a three-day cold soaking period at about 50ºF with yeast was added on the fourth day and the fermentation warmed by natural fermentation heat. The wine was pressed at dryness and malolactic fermentation occurred in the tanks. The wines were aged on lees for 3 months before racking. This process took place in a stainless steel tank to preserve bright fruit aromas and flavours. The Zinfandel grapes add bright raspberry, and cranberry aromas accompanied by the ripe jam and spice. The Shiraz adds rich, leathery flavours, blueberry and the dark runby hues. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £80.90
