✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Kirschenmann Vineyard Zinfandel from Bedrock Wine Co. is a masterclass in the elegant, perfumed side of Lodi Zinfandel. Planted in 1915 on its own roots, this historic vineyard is located in the Mokelumne River AVA, situated on a cool peninsula of land surrounded on three sides by the river. Owned by famed viticulturist Tegan Passalacqua, the ancient vines thrive in deep, silica-rich sandy soils that naturally protect them from phylloxera. Unlike the heavy, jammy style often associated with the region, Kirschenmann produces an ethereal, high-toned wine. It is celebrated for its pale ruby hue, striking perfume of rose petals, wild strawberry, and white pepper, and a delicate, almost Pinot Noir-like structure. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW employs native yeast fermentation and gentle aging in primarily neutral French oak to preserve the vineyard's signature clarity, bright acidity, and mineral tension.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bedrock Wine Co. blev grundlagt i Sonoma, Californien, i 2007 af vinmageren Morgan Twain-Peterson MW med en dedikeret mission om at genoprette og bevare statens historiske vinmarker med gamle vinstokke. Med udgangspunkt i den legendariske Bedrock Vineyard i Sonoma Valley – som oprindeligt blev tilplantet i midten af det 19. århundrede – hylder Twain-Peterson og hans partner Chris Cottrell Californiens vinarv gennem en minimalistisk og terroir-drevet vinifikation. Vingården skaber vitale og stedtypiske vine på klassiske, historiske field blends såvel som traditionelle druesorter som Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon og Chardonnay. Bedrocks aftapninger er berømte for deres energi og autenticitet, og især den ikoniske Bedrock Heritage samt enkeltmarksvinene fra gamle vinstokke står i dag som uomgængelige pejlemærker for klassisk californisk vinkunst.
