De Loach `Heritage Collection` Zinfandel from Central Coast, USA, is a still, dry red wine crafted from Zinfandel grapes. The winemaking involves a pre-fermentation cold soak for deep colour extraction, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks with cap punching down. A post-fermentation warm maceration ensures ripe, well-integrated tannins, with a small portion of the wine aged in seasoned French oak barrels. This certified organic wine bursts with enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherry, and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied with bold fruit, ripe tannins, and well-integrated oak, offering a rich and satisfying experience. It pairs wonderfully with hearty beef dishes, lamb, or mature cheeses.
