FLOR DE ZALIN

This FLOR DE ZALIN blend features Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache grapes from an unknown origin but with a rich history of these varietals. As one of Spain's high-yielding red grape varieties, Carignan is prevalent in California's older vineyards. Syrah, known for its expressive nature, can be found under the names Syrah or Shiraz depending on stylistic intent—often opting for a French-influenced style with notes of black pepper and dark fruit. Grenache, native to Spain and widely planted in France’s southern Rhône region, forms the backbone of GSM blends, contributing color, tannin, and spice to complex wines like Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. Expect a wine with depth and complexity that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and dishes featuring black pepper or smoked spices.
