Zinfandel

Zinfandel

Known for its ripe, robust nature, the Zinfandel grape is a unique variety that has an intriguingly diverse range of flavours. Originally traced back to Croatia, but catapulted to fame in California, Zinfandel has established a strong presence in the global wine industry.

Zinfandel grapes are appreciated for their versatility in producing significantly divergent styles of wine. From the delectably light rosé often labelled as ‘White Zinfandel’ to the profound, full-bodied red styles teeming with rich, jammy fruit characters, Zinfandel never falls short in offering a surprising glimpse into its dynamic personality.

Physically, Zinfandel grapes are robust berries that cluster tightly together on the vine, typically in small to medium bunches. The skins are thick and richly pigmented, ripening into a dark, blue-black colour. This feature greatly contributes to the strikingly deep, almost inky hue of the classic Zinfandel red wine.

In terms of flavour profile, Zinfandel tends to display a ripe, fruit-forward character. Blackberry, cherry, raspberry, and plum are commonly detected, often alongside a subtle hint of black pepper. Depending on the style and the region in which it is grown, Zinfandel can also express other secondary notes such as liquorice, spice, and sometimes even a smoky hint of tobacco.

Zinfandel wines are noted for their substantial alcohol content and vibrant acidity, both aspects which largely stem from the grape’s penchant for warmth and intense sunlight. The grape thrives best in climates where the long, hot growing season allows it to develop its full flavour potential.

In conclusion, Zinfandel grape is an assertive and fascinating fruit that doesn’t shy away from expressing its complexity. It delights wine enthusiasts across the world with its depth, its spice, and its tantalising duality. Whether in a light rosé or an opulent red, the personality of Zinfandel is one that is truly memorable.
