{"product_id":"zinfandel-hendry-primitivo","title":"Primitivo Hendry Vineyard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe vines in Block 24 were planted in 1997, using St. George roots, and grafted with U.C. Davis Primitivo Clone 3. The vines are spaced 6.9’ x 5’, cordon-trained and spur-pruned. Block 10 was planted with the same clone in 2003. A vertical trellis system supports the cordon and the canopy. Primitivo's roots go back hundreds of years to Croatia, where it originated along with its more familiar genetic twin: Zinfandel. Zinfandel and Primitivo share common parentage. Essentially synonymous, Primitivo is now associated with Puglia, Italy, where it is commonly grown, and Zinfandel with California.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcoholic fermentation for the Primitivo was completed in approximately ten days in closed, stainless steel fermentation tanks. After completing alcoholic fermentation, the wine was pressed and put into barrels for malolactic fermentation. Aging was fifteen months in French oak barrels, approximately one-third of which were new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby color. Ripe, jammy, berry fruit dominates the nose, with herbal, toffee and green tea notes. Smooth, heavy entry and medium-full palate weight. Bright blackberry and raspberry flavors. Moderate acid. Longtime fans of our Primitivo may notice that the 2020 vintage is initially more structured than the 2019, with fine-grained tannins that may soften with time and\/or air. The additional tannin opens up a world of pairing possibilities for this popular wine. Full-flavored, fruit-driven at its heart, try it with grilled onions and skirt steak, tacos al pastor, a cheese and charcuterie selection, Korean short ribs, or anything you like with Zinfandel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hendry Ranch","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":43126060122179,"sku":"HHVP20-75","price":86.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/8489\/0691\/files\/Hendry_Ranch_Primitivo_Napa_Valley.png?v=1776825778","url":"https:\/\/shop.botella.sg\/products\/zinfandel-hendry-primitivo","provider":"Botella","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
