Steele Shooting Star Zinfandel 2018

All of the fruit is hand-harvested and quickly delivered to the winery. The grapes are de-stemmed and gently crushed to tanks for fermentation. Following fermentation, they press and rack the individual vineyard lots to American and Hungarian oak barrels for 8 months. Based on their stylistic approach to Shooting Star wines, this Zin is lighter and fruitier than their Old-Vine Steele Zinfandels. The winery used approximately 80% neutral barrels and 20% new barrels in order to capture as much of the aroma and flavor of the grape as possible.

Try the Shooting Star Zinfandel with pasta in marinara sauce, calzones, grilled meats or lasagna. The Shooting Star Zinfandel is also a delicious wine with BBQ.
