A slightly herbaceous note of mulberry leaf and bay leaf revealing the cabernet sauvignon inclusion. Warm and generous baking spices with hints of freshly baked boysenberry muffins affirming the presence of warm climate shiraz. Incredibly smooth in texture with a rich and plush mouthfeel. Very alluring. Blackberry and plum fruits carry

Vines over the age of 40 years

this has a soft rounded texture and great purity

When selecting fruit for Lodi Zinfandel

On average this wine is 20 years old

The Trebbiano di Soave grapes were picked in mid-September and the Garganega in October

the Crémant is a particularly memorable blend of Chenin (80%) and Chardonnay (20%) which spends as much as 60 months in the underground tuffeau caves

southeast facing and at 200m altitude

as would be expected in a cooler year

Very good with Boxing Day cold meats and hard cheeses
