2022 Rusden Chookshed Zinfandel

£39.00

Christian's story about Rusden Chookshed Zinfandel:

"I vividly remember my cousin introducing me to Zinfandel and thinking, “wow, what a grape variety!” About a year later I stumbled across a couple of short rows which had been planted on one of our neighbour’s vineyards in the early seventies. After offering to prune the vines in exchange for a few cuttings, Mum, Dad and I grafted an old dry grown block of Trebbiano next to the chook shed, over to Zinfandel, putting them amongst the oldest Zinfandel vines around. Apart from its year in year out consistency, the biggest kick I get out of making the Zin every year is the look of surprise, and the wide eyed grins that follow on the faces of many of our loyal mailing list customers."

Tasting Note: Less density than its predecessors, the 2022 vintage is showing more of a red fruit spectrum, cinnamon, spice, charred timber on the nose. The palate is rich, fruit forward with peach preserve, plum, hints of vanilla and charry oak. Plenty of flavour and long to the finish, it’ll certainly have admirers!

Origin: Barossa, Australia

Blend: Zinfandel
