  2020 ‘Maggio’ Old Vine Zinfandel, Oak Ridge Winery

  £1695

  This traditional Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel is deep and rich, showing ripe black fruit flavours with subtle jam and chocolate overtones, typical of these family grown vineyards. Gentle on the palate with a subtle, smoky finish.

  The grapes come from 500 acres of estate vineyards throughout the Lodi American Viticultural Area, which are situated between the Sierra Nevada foothills and the San Francisco Bay. The area’s Mediterranean climate of warm days with coastal evening breezes is ideal for the cultivation of world-class wine grapes. The vines, some of which are over 100 years old, are gnarled and sculpted by time, yielding small amounts of intensely flavoured fruit to create wines that are the ultimate expression of their terroir.

  2023 Saint Georges Zinfandel Old Vines, Birichino

  £3795

  Birichino is a boutique winery based in Santa Cruz, California, renowned for crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines from old vines and lesser-known varietals. Founded in 2008 by Alex Krause and John Locke, both seasoned winemakers with extensive experience in California and abroad, Birichino (meaning “mischievous” in Italian) embodies a spirit of creativity and exploration. ​

  On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe cherry, boysenberry, and cola intermingle with delicate floral notes and a whisper of candied violet. The palate is lively and precise, offering layered red and blue fruit flavours wrapped in fine tannins and lifted by bright acidity. Subtle accents of allspice, liquorice, and cracked pepper build through the mid-palate, leading to a long, energetic finish that echoes the wine’s spicy and mineral nuances.

  The historic vineyard from which this comes from, planted in 1922 by an Italian bootlegger, is rooted in gravelly loam soils and has been continuously farmed by the Besson family since 1925. The proximity to Monterey Bay, just 12 miles west, imparts a cooling marine influence, contributing to the wine’s vibrant acidity and nuanced flavour profile.

  2016 Zinfandel ‘Bradford Mountain Estate Vineyard’, Peterson Winery

  £3800

  This Mountain-grown Zinfandel opens in the glass with tempting notes of opulent dark berries, spicy black pepper and a rich mineral essence, underpinned by beautifully integrated oak nuances through to a long, elegant finish

  The grapes are ‘Estate Grown’ from the Bradford Mountain Estate vineyard. Overlooking the western edge of Dry Creek Valley, the vineyard spans six and a half hectares on the very top of the 385-metre peak that Fred cleared and planted in the 1980s. The well-drained, red-clay soil, combined with sunny days and cool nights, produces small, intensely flavoured grapes. This wine encapsulates all of the best qualities found in mountain-grown Zinfandels from the Dry Creek Valley appellation: the poorer soils and cooler nights harness and preserve more of the bright acidity and freshness in the grapes. More sunlight hours at the higher elevation means thicker-skinned fruit which translates as darker, richer fruit. The key characteristics of mountain-grown Zinfandel are that it has a peppery quality and more intense black fruit characteristics.
