Not to be confused with White Zinfandel, the sweet pink wine — Zinfandel is a bold, dry red with tons of character.

Inviting crushed berry and smoky aromas, this wine is full of dark berry flavours with nuanced oak and spice, creating a rich, fruity, and bold experience with a lingering, satisfying finish.

Hailing from Lodi, California, a region quickly gaining recognition as one of the state’s most exciting wine destinations. Situated 100 miles east of San Francisco at the edge of the San Joaquin/Sacramento River Delta, cool delta breezes naturally regulate the vineyards, producing grapes with consistent, refreshing acidity and full flavour.

This Old Vines Zinfandel gains complexity from vines that are older than typical plantings. Deep roots extract more minerals from the soil, contributing unique flavours and a subtle mineral character that elevates the wine.

Perfect pairings:

• Grilled meats – beef, chicken, pork

• Charcuterie boards – salty cured meats

• Bold cheeses – aged cheddar, smoked gouda, Parmigiano Reggiano
