WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Amazin' Zinfandel undergoes cold maceration prior to fermentation, a technique designed to maximize fruit extraction and aroma. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, preserving the grape's fresh fruit profile. Following fermentation, a portion of the wine is aged in American oak barrels, while the remainder stays in stainless steel. This dual aging approach aims to balance fruit intensity with subtle oak influence and a smooth texture.
