2021 Preston Farm Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, California, USA Domaine de la Borde from biodynamic fruit sourced outsideFrom organically farmed, dry farmed vines in Dry Creek Valley, this estate Zinfandel reflects the deep roots of Preston Farms regenerative approach. Fruit from old vine parcels is hand harvested and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, using gentle pump overs to preserve delicacy and freshness. The wine is then aged in a mix of neutral oak and large casks, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur.
