Vine Starr Zinfandel

Enjoy it on its own or with lighter meat and vegetable dishes.

Broc Cellars was nothing more than an idea not that long ago, an idea about making wines that were “site specific”. Where the wines’ true character came from using only organically or biodynamically grown grapes from areas that most would consider marginal. Believing that vineyards develop “True” character and complexity when they have to struggle to survive. In the cellar, we try to continue this practice using minimal intervention, in an effort to let the grapes speak for themselves.

50/50 blend of Arrowhead and Buck Hill, which both have volcanic soil. Both vineyards have low intervention farming practices using no chemicals or sulphur. Picked at low brix to highlight acidity, nerve, and fruit on the bright-red spectrum of Zinfandel. Inspired by the wines from Beaujolais and Northern Rhone, Chris harvested early to highlight acidity and fresh fruit.

Aged for 10 months in neutral French oak barrels.

100% destemmed and fermented in 5- ton stainless steel tanks.
