Maitre de Chai, Stampede Zinfandel 2019 Soave

Maitre de Chai, Stampede Zinfandel 2019 SoaveWhile distinctively a California Zin, this has tannin and structure reminiscent of an Italian made wine. There is loads of bright acidity and fruit, that is brambly and salty in nature with a grippy and savory edge. What begins on the palate is a subtle richness that becomes fuller and really unique with a snappy and firm finish.

The neck is not frozen during disgorgement and therefore may appear cloudy

delicate creamy vanilla note

prunes and dates

The palate is muscular but fine toned with bright acidity and both power and persistence

with earthy black fruits

strawberry flavours with soft spicy notes from oak-ageing and very gentle tannins make it a good match for quite delicate dishes

red currants

a hint of lime and a sappy melon skin note

this has a core of stone fruits and green apple with the waxy

The palate is full of finesse and balance of the fruit and spice is special

herb-scented and stony with a lively minerality and a lot of salt
