✨ Technical Specifications
California Zinfandel is renowned for its bold, expressive fruit character and rich heritage, with vines dating back to the 19th century across the state's diverse AVAs. The sunny Mediterranean climate allows Zinfandel grapes to achieve full ripeness, yielding wines marked by ripe jammy berries and warm spice notes. Fermentation often takes place in stainless steel followed by aging in a mix of American and French oak barrels to enhance vanilla and sweet spice aromas without overwhelming the core fruit.
