A companion to our Zinfandel Piquette, this was one of the first pickings from our estate Old Vine Zinfandel. We chose a very low brix (sugar) pick point to brighten the acidity of the resulting wine and focus the fruit aromatics into bright red fruit.
The Zinfandel was gently destemming then moved into the bladder press for an extended, gentle pressing. The resulting juice was cold settled, innoculated with yeast and through a long, cold fermentation to consume the sugars as well as retaining all the complex aromatics. 100% Stainless steel.
