Petina chases a methode traditional style with a barrel ferment until desired residual sugar is achieved. The wine ages on lees in bottle going through autolysis to build the body and direct the flavour profile. The wine is then riddled and disgorged to remove the sediment.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
