Vinification of the Small Lot Zinfandel from Wente Vineyards

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Zinfandel. Only the best grapes were harvested for this wonderfully powerful single-varietal wine from Wente Vineyards. After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
