A richly-textured Red wine brimming with blackberry, plum, and savoury spice, perfect with hearty dishes
Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel from Sonoma County, USA, is a richly-textured, dry Red wine (still) crafted from Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Syrah grapes. Aged for 10 months in American and French oak, it brims with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, complemented by savoury allspice aromas and a hint of vanilla on the finish. Its supple tannins make it an elegant and approachable wine. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats or mature cheeses.

Vinification
The vineyards were hand-harvested and fermented separately, in small parcels per block, resulting in 150 separate fermentations. The Seghesio team employed a range of techniques depending on the nuances of each variety and parcel. 65% were fermented in closed-top stainless-steel tanks with closed-system pump overs. 25% were placed into open-top fermenters with pneumatic-assisted punch-down cap management. The remaining 10% underwent fermentation in a stainless-steel rotary tank. The wine was aged for 10 months in 7% New American oak and 93% neutral French and American oak barrels. It was racked once upon completion of malolactic fermentation and once more before blending and bottling.
