✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Scheid Vineyards' Zinfandel is a testament to the diverse microclimates of Monterey County. While the northern reaches of the Salinas Valley are chilled by the marine winds of Monterey Bay, traveling south reveals pockets of intense warmth. In these sun-drenched southern estate vineyards, protected from the harshest coastal drafts, the heritage Zinfandel grape thrives. Scheid crafts this wine to showcase the classic, robust character of the variety, balancing rich, jammy dark fruit flavors with a distinct thread of acidity gifted by the region's dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. The vines are sustainably farmed, utilizing the estate's wind-powered winery to produce a wine that honors both California's winemaking history and modern environmental stewardship.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Scheid Vineyards blev grundlagt i 1972 af Al Scheid og er en pionervirksomhed beliggende i hjertet af Salinas Valley i Californiens Monterey County. Gennem fem årtier har den familieejede vingård udvidet sit virke til tolv unikke vinmarker, hvor man udnytter den markante, kølende havbrise fra Monterey Bay til at dyrke en bred vifte af druesorter. Vingården er dybt engageret i bæredygtighed, drives udelukkende af vedvarende vindenergi og arbejder efter strenge, certificerede bæredygtige principper. Scheid Vineyards er anerkendt for sin alsidige portefølje af levende hvid-, rød- og rosévine og fremstiller både roste enkeltdruevine på eksempelvis Cabernet Sauvignon, Albariño og Barbera samt håndværksmæssige cuvéer som deres Claret Reserve.
