Tasting Notes
• Colour: Deep ruby red with a vibrant, intense hue.
• Aroma: Bursting with rich, layered aromas of blackberry, mocha, and a hint of sweet spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied and lush, this Old Vine Zin offers bold flavours of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and mocha, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak from French and American barrels. Balanced tannins and a smooth finish make it ideal for sipping or pairing with grilled meats, BBQ, or spicy dishes.
Gnarly Head wines started with a bold vision and a single vine. In 2004, our winemakers set out to craft an unforgettable Zinfandel by heading to Lodi, California, home to some of the oldest and most respected Zinfandel vineyards in the country.
These old vine Zinfandel grapes, grown using traditional head-trained, spur-pruned methods for over a century, deliver intensely ripe, concentrated red fruit flavours. The result? A robust, full-bodied California Zinfandel that is rich in character and impossible to ignore.
Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel is not just another red wine, it is a bold, structured expression of Lodi’s winemaking heritage, with a twist of the unexpected. Perfect for lovers of bold California red wines that pack flavour and personality.
