Cline Cellars ‘Old Vine’ Lodi Zinfandel Vintage:2022Showing a wide array of dark berry fruit including black cherry and strawberry. Additionally, spice notes and a lasting finish of vanilla from oak aging and firm, supple tannins add complexity to this wine. Lodi, in California's Central Valley, enjoys deep loam soil, long sun drenched days and cool nights, making this one of the world's prime locations for growing Zinfandel grapes. Cline Cellars is a family owned vineyard and winery with 460 hectares
with the remainder dedicated to Chardonnay
The rosé is part saignée (juice from the Mourvèdre is drained off) and part press (the other cepages)
AB&D wines are just like a (mostly) happy family
most precious eaux-de-vie are stored
Quinta da Roêda forms a vast sweep of terraced vineyard located on the north bank of the Douro just upstream from the village of Pinhão
can be mixed with ingredients that heighten its freshness and aromatic intensity:
along with a mixture of soils and microclimates to ensure a balance of flavour profiles
The cooler temperatures allow it to retain crucial acidity which helps provide balance to the ripe fruit
The juice is then settled and fermented in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank for 24 days
Ultimately this is a deeply satisfying single vineyard
with apple blossom on the nose
Will pair with fish
