Growing Conditions
Predominantly sourced from the Cape Mentelle Estate vines there is a combination of ironstone gravel soils, old bush vines and vertically shoot positioned canopies. The vines are shoot thinned and in some cases leaf plucked to ensure the perfect balance between ensuring fruit exposure to light along with protection from the midday sun.
Nose
The 2007 Zinfandel has incredibly expressive blueberry and spiced raisin aromas with an undercurrent of plum pudding, cinnamon and allspice.
Palate
Rich, full bodied with medium to high acid and a medium level of velvety tannins, this is one opulent wine giving a beautifully long finish.
Appearance
Deep garnet colored.
