Taste the natural intensity of the original Zinfandel grape from its ancestral homeland
Genetic research on the origin of Zinfandel came to fruition in 2001 -- it confirmed that Zinfandel and Primitivo originated from Croatia. At the point of discovery, the “original Zinfandel” was near extinction; there were only nine vines left on a vineyard somewhere off the coast of Split.
Since the discovery in 2001, the Plenkovic family has lovingly grown a vineyard dedicated to the original Zinfandel using exclusively organic methods. The result has a beautiful nose of cherry jam and spices, almost as if you are walking in an Arab market. In the mouth it is powerful and intense: ripe red cherries, sweet strawberries, fragrant blossom, mild bitters of dried sage and again those spices.
How to enjoy it
