Giant Old Vine Red 2020
Giant Old Vine Red is a rich, full-bodied Zinfandel from California , crafted from old vine fruit that delivers the concentrated dark fruit, spice, and depth that makes the variety so compelling. Ripe, generous, and unapologetically bold, it is a red wine built for those who love their reds rich, heady, and full of character. Why You'll Love It Old vine Zinfandel is one of California's great wine treasures. Older vines produce lower yields and more concentrated fruit, and in the warm, sun-drenched conditions of California, that translates into wines of extraordinary richness and depth. Giant Old Vine Red delivers all of that in a generous, crowd-pleasing package, with dark fruit, coffee, and dried fruit notes that make it an instant favourite for fans of Malbec , Primitivo , or any rich, full-bodied red. If you like your reds on the slightly sweeter, riper side of the spectrum, this is the bottle for you. Vineyard & Production Sourced from old vine Zinfandel vineyards in California, where the warm climate and the age of the vines combine to produce fruit of exceptional concentration and complexity. Old vines naturally restrict yields, pushing flavour intensity into each berry and producing wines with a depth and richness that younger vines simply cannot match. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour. The nose is rich and expressive with dark fruit, blackberry jam, dried red plum, and fig, layered with notes of cinnamon, coconut, and espresso coffee. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous with ripe dark fruit, cassis, and a touch of sweetness, finishing long and warming. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for barbecued meats, slow-cooked ribs, burgers, and hearty stews. Also excellent alongside aged cheddar, charcuterie, or a classic American-style BBQ spread. Equally enjoyable on its own as a warming evening wine. The Blend 100% Zinfandel
