Old Vine Zinfandel Ironstone 2019
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Californië
Californië is de belangrijkste wijnproducerende staat van de VS en is goed voor ruim 80 procent van de totale wijnproductie van het land. Het gebied strekt zich uit over meer dan 1.300 kilometer langs de Pacifische kust van Mendocino in het noorden tot San Diego in het zuiden en bevat 149 officieel erkende AVA's, verdeeld in vier hoofdregio's: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) en South Coast.
Het klimaat wordt gedomineerd door koele zeewind en ochtendmist uit de Stille Oceaan, die aanzienlijke temperatuurverschillen overdag en langdurige rijping veroorzaken. De bodems zijn zeer gevarieerd, van vulkanische en alluviale soorten tot kalk en schalie. De belangrijkste variëteiten zijn Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel en Sauvignon Blanc. De stijl varieert sterk van magere, zuurgedreven Pinot Noir en Chardonnay, van koele AVA's aan de kust tot volle, fruitige Cabernet Sauvignon en Zinfandel uit de warmere streken in het binnenland. Het gebied staat bekend als een van 's werelds meest diverse en kwaliteitsgerichte wijnlandschappen.

Allow the bottle to stand upright for 24–48 hours before opening to allow sediment to settle. Use a professional corkscrew and open carefully.
