Description
"I vividly remember my cousin introducing me to Zinfandel and thinking, “wow, what a grape variety!” About a year later I stumbled across a couple of short rows which had been planted on one of our neighbour’s vineyards in the early seventies. After offering to prune the vines in exchange for a few cuttings, Mum, Dad and I grafted an old dry grown block of Trebbiano next to the chook shed, over to Zinfandel, putting them amongst the oldest Zinfandel vines around. Intriguing nose with liquorice, raisins, cedar and spice. Full throttle flavours showing orange peel, chocolate, dark fruits, liquorice & spice. Rich and unctuous and not for the faint of heart, if you like a big red, this always delivers!" - Christian Canute, Winemaker
