This Zinfandel is a bold wine grown from some of the oldest vines in California. Gnarly Head’s untamed vines produce full-flavoured grapes, dense with aromas of blackberry bramble, juicy plum, and toasted oak. This medium-bodied wine boasts a balanced acidity and supple tannins for those who like unique, big wines.
Older vines produce fewer grape clusters, but the small berries yield intense, dark fruit flavours. The grapes for this Zinfandel were harvested early in the morning while the weather is cool. This allows the grapes to start off cool and warm up gently for fermentation. After fermentation, the wine was racked onto French and American oak to concentrate the abundant fruit flavours and add complexity.
Enjoy this wine with vegetarian chilli, mini stuffed peppers or with rich and tangy BBQ ribs.
