WINE MAKING PROCESS
Can of Zin is produced using gentle pressing techniques to preserve the fruit. Fermentation occurs in open, temperature-controlled cement tanks with a daily 'pump over' regimen. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is subsequently aged for 12 months, with a portion of the blend maturing in French oak. The producer's approach emphasizes vine care to achieve high-quality fruit.
