2022 Zinfandel
2022 Zinfandel
Poached pear, mango and black cherries, layered with dark chocolate, white pepper and freshly ground coffee. An opulent yet bristling palate of summer berries, red apple skin and cherry blossom flavours, underpinned by coating black tannin, persistent and mineral to the end.
Winemaking Notes by Remi Guise: Fruit was hand-picked and gently de-stemmed, with the berries left un-crushed to preserve the natural fruit perfumes and allow for slow and controlled tannin and flavour extraction. Fermentation took place in traditional open top fermenters with only 2 daily plunges in order to preserve the integrity of the skin and extract only the finest tannin and flavours. After 12 days of fermentation the wine was gently separated from the skin and transferred to French oak Barriques, where it remained for 9 months before blending, clarification and bottling.

WA Wine Review - Ray Jordan Wine 2024:
“Zinfandel tends to polarize people, but if you sit on the fence then this wine might get you across the line. Beautifully scented aromas of black liqueur cherry with a choc mocha thing happening. The palate is brimming with ripe berry flavours cut with fine minerality. Well-balanced and poised.”
