WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Silent Shade Zinfandel is produced from selected Zinfandel grapes, along with Teroldego, Rubired, and Petite Sirah, sourced from California's Central Valley. The grapes are harvested at their peak ripeness. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, though specific details are not provided. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, a process that imparts spiciness and contributes to its overall character. The blend of grape varietals and the oak aging are key techniques in shaping the final wine.
