Vinos Pijoan - 'Anniversari' - Zinfandel - Valle de Guadalupe, Baja, MX - 2022

Notes from the Winery/Importer

2021 Natural Red Wine A red wine with a deep violet color. Full-bodied, intense character, and very fruity. This Zinfandel vineyard, from our experience and perspective, is one of the most interesting plots in the Valle de Guadalupe. Speaking from our current position of aridity, working with a dry-farmed vineyard with deep roots is an increasingly rare possibility and an honor to vinify. With Aniversari, we explore a vineyard that we have known since the beginning of our project (2002); we have made red wine, rosé, fortified wine, and now a natural red from this vineyard. Note: If you miss our now discontinued wine "Mare," you’ll be interested to know that Aniversari is a reinterpretation of Mare, as a natural wine. -Notes from the Winery
