2021 Bedrock Wine Co. Evangelho Vineyard Heritage Red
£39.50
“From Zinfandel grown in the pure sand soils of this incredible site, the 2021 Evangelho Vineyard Heritage is lifted and pure with raspberry liqueur, fresh flowers, and brushy earth. Medium-bodied, with a highly refined structure, it reveals a floral perfume of herbes de Provence and rose petals that lasts long after the wine has dissipated. With fine tannins and a gorgeous, sandy mineral texture, it’s a beautiful wine to drink over the next 10 or more years.”
Bedrock Wine Co.was founded in 2007 by winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson. Morgan works with some of the best grape farmers in California to source fruit for his small batch wines.
Own-rooted on forty-foot-deep banks of beach sand alongside the Sacramento River Delta, Evangelho is a totally unique site. Planted in the 1890s, the vineyard is a viticultural survivor—surrounded by evidence of suburban sprawl encroaching on one of the last agricultural islands left in Contra Costa County. A field-blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Mourvedre, and others, the wines are fresh, bright, and typically have some of the lowest pHs of any of the Bedrock wines.
