LangeTwins Old Vine Zinfandel (75cl, 15.5%)

A full-bodied Lodi red wine at 15.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle, from a family winery that has practised certified sustainable winegrowing in the Lodi appellation for nearly three decades. The wine blends 90% Zinfandel, 4% Petite Sirah and 3% Teroldego, including fruit from a historic vineyard planted in 1903, and is aged in predominantly American oak. The nose shows ripe plum, boysenberry and dark currant, with subtle baking spice and black pepper as the wine opens. The palate is bold and mouth-filling, with concentrated ripe plum, black cherry and expressive red fruit, generous spice, a smooth texture, soft well-integrated tannins and balancing acidity. The finish is warm and lingering, with pleasant spice, balanced structure and a satisfying impression of dark berry fruit and peppery warmth.
