1984 Zinfandel that is completely 💯percent natural -nothing added and nothing taken away and is now 39 years old. How could this wine last so long and still be so enjoyable? I always pick at ripeness 🌞which is a function of acidity and sugar! Listen in by clicking on the link in bio for the full interview & more information. 🍇🌞🍇🌞🍇🌞🍇 1. Grapes 🍇 have a balance of acidity and alcohol that produces wine that is enjoyable and enhances food. 2. Acid and alcohol from ripe fruit will thus allow long aging potential of a wine. ✨ 3. Picking fruit at optimum ripeness 🌞allows the vine to store carbohydrates for the following year when it emerges from a dormant state. 4. If the grapes are picked too early, the greater probability of volatile acidity and cloudiness. Unpleasant and undrinkable. 🤮 #naturalwine #sonomawine #naturalwines #coturri #hcoturriandsons #tonycoturri #philcoturri #coturriwines #winecountry #californiawine #zin #zinfandel #biodynamic #biodynamicwine #estatevineyard #dryfarmedwines #justgrapes #vinnaturel #latitude #sonomacounty #zerozero #sansoufre #nativeyeast #unfiltered #unfined #handmade #rawwine #ripefruit #nattywine #volatileacidity
