The Story
Old Zinfandel vines are twisted, gnarled plants, that produce naturally low yields of grapes that are concentrated, intense and flavorful. Typically to be called an Old Vine Zinfandel the Vineyard needs to be at least 40 years old. The vineyards where we source these grapes are about 45 years old.
