This is the serious one. But how tasty can you get a Zinfandel? All this release comes from only one barrel so there are only 30 dozen available. Sure to be a classic, it is going to age for years and enthusiasts will kick themselves if they miss out.
You will truly appreciate this rare offering. This fantastic vintage was particularly low yielding, so only 150 dozen bottles of this wine wasproduced.
These delicious grapes are exclusively from our small patch of low yielding vines where they are grown with particular attention to soil health using minimal chemical input. After hand picking the grapes, winemaker Dylan Arvidson used new and old French oak barriquesfor 9 months to mature it after the cold fermentation.
TASTING NOTES
|
The wine has a good depth of colourwith attractive gold hints, there are complex tropical tones of guava and pineapple fruit to smell. The taste shows good length and the fruit gives a smooth and satisfying flavourand fullness. An attractive complexity gives it that extra dimension.
