Domaine de L’Arjolle Etonnants Zinfandel 2015
FranceThe Teisserenc family are fans of zinfandel and this wine is said to be the only one of its kind in France. It gets a cold maceration to extract some colour without alcohol, followed by a standard fermentation before ageing in French and American oak. Look for some familiar plummy, smoky, liquorice, cassis notes with a touch of peppery garrigue and some acidity poking through the back end. A different look from the south of France but worth checking out. The match is an all-southern France tajine.Tasted: 24 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $33.99 | 750ml | New District |
