La Boutanche, Red Blend, Broc Cellars - 2023

Item # 44746 1 L

A blend of Zinfandel, Lagrein Rosé, and Carignan, this is a fresh and lively take on the traditional California Zinfandel blend. Far from the jammy and rich wines typically associated with this style, the partial use of carbonic fermentation gives this a noticeably light and drinkable touch. Pair this dry red with roasted vegetables and chermoula.

Many appellations of Languedoc-Roussillon must include a certain percentage of Carignan, but it is rarely the dominant grape in these blends. For years, this naturally high-yielding grape suffered from overproduction, but New World winemakers have lately taken up the Carignan cause and produced some distinctive and delicious examples. Now that it is subject to...

Zinfandel

Zinfandel is widely thought of as “America’s grape,” but in fact the variety is of Croatian origin, and is genetically extremely similar to Italian Primitivo, which thrives in the warmest parts of southern Italy. Like Primitivo, Zinfandel requires warm but not hot growing conditions, as its skins are relatively thin: this can cause its berries to shrivel into raisins if left on the vine a little too long.
