Stirm Wine Co. Old Vine Zinfandel Wirz Vineyard Cienega Valley 2021 750ml

Organic. 100% Zinfandel. This Zin from the special, old-vine, windswept Wirz vineyard was hand-picked and sorted in the field. At the winery the grapes were sorted into a redwood fermenter, whole-cluster, with 10% Riesling grapes added into the field blend. Pumped over once daily, pressed after a 17 day fermentation. Elevage in ten year-old barriques for 18 months on fine lees. Racked to stainless steel one month prior with the addition of Wirz Riesling into the final blend (Zinfandel 90% Riesling 10%). Unfined, unfiltered. Bottled early March ’21.
