Vinification of Bonterra Zinfandel California

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Zinfandel. For this wonderfully powerful varietal wine from Bonterra, only the best grapes were harvested. After hand-picking, the grapes are quickly brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Zinfandel California is aged for a few more months in oak barriques. After the wine is finished, Zinfandel California is gently harmonized.
