WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Big Bossy Jane Zinfandel is produced using 100% Zinfandel grapes from California. The winemaking process involves fermenting the grape juice with the skins to extract color, flavor, and texture. Following fermentation, the wine typically undergoes aging in oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and structure. The grapes are harvested in late summer to early fall. A notable aspect of this wine's production is its packaging in PET bottles, a choice aimed at reducing environmental impact through lower manufacturing energy and transport weight compared to traditional glass bottles.
