The Big Top Zinfandel 2021

The Big Top Old Vine Zinfandel is a fleshy and approachable red from California’s renowned Lodi region. Sourced from old-vine vineyards, this wine offers generous fruit concentration, spice, and a touch of oak, delivering classic Zinfandel character at outstanding value. Meet the producer Boutinot has worked closely with growers across California for decades, refining its portfolio year after year. With deep-rooted partnerships and careful vineyard selection, Boutinot brings expressive, fruit-forward Californian wines to tables worldwide. Production Crafted from old-vine Zinfandel in Lodi, central California, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness, before a short period of oak ageing adds subtle spice and roundness. Tasting notes Aromas of vanilla, cracked black pepper, and dark damson fruit lead into a palate that is round, fleshy, and beautifully balanced. Bursting with robust red fruit flavours and lifted by a lick of oak, this is Zinfandel at its most approachable and generous. Food match Perfect with roast meats or smoky barbecues.
