✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Saitone Ranch, located in the heart of the Russian River Valley's Piner-Olivet region, is one of Sonoma County's crown jewels of viticultural history. Originally planted in 1895 by Italian immigrant Antonio Saitone, this historic vineyard features majestic, head-trained, dry-farmed vines that have survived for well over a century. Bedrock Wine Co. crafts this site-specific Zinfandel to honor this legacy, capturing the unique cool-climate signature of the Russian River Valley. The terroir, characterized by morning fog and sandy loam soils, yields a wine of remarkable elegance, bright acidity, and vibrant red fruit character, distinct from warmer-climate Zinfandels. Fermented with native yeasts and aged carefully in French oak barrels, the wine showcases a complex tapestry of wild blackberry, cracked black pepper, and dried floral notes, underpinned by the structural depth that only centenarian vines can provide.
🍾 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.
