Ashanta Wines 'Zazen' Old Vine Zinfandel · 750 ml

Crafted from 97‑year‑old vines planted in 1925 by Italian immigrants, "Zazen" is hand-harvested and naturally fermented using indigenous yeasts. Twenty-five percent whole-cluster fermented in open-top bins for two weeks, the wine then ages 11 months in neutral French oak. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with zero added sulfur—this vintage embodies a pure and expressive natural Zinfandel.
