Se saapui sinne 1800-luvun puolivälissä kultakuumeen aikoihin, ja sitä on viljelty siellä siitä lähtien. Rypäleen alkuperä oli pitkään arvoitus. DNA-tutkimukset, joita Carole Meredith teki yhdessä kroatialaisten tutkijoiden kanssa, osoittivat lopulta, että Zinfandel, Italian Primitivo ja Kroatian Tribidrag (tunnettu myös nimellä Crljenak Kaštelanski) ovat käytännössä sama lajike. Tribidrag mainitaan Dalmatian asiakirjoissa jo 1400-luvulla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaikka rypäle on sama, tyyli on eri. Tällä sivulla ovat Zinfandel-nimellä myytävät viinit, jotka tulevat lähes kaikki Kaliforniasta. Ne ovat oma maailmansa: runsaita, hedelmäisiä ja usein lämpimiä punaviinejä, joissa on enemmän voimaa kuin hienostelua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMiltä Zinfandel-viini maistuu?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinfandel kypsyy epätasaisesti, ja samassa terttussa voi olla sekä raakoja että rusinoituneita marjoja. Siksi viineissä on usein sekä tuoretta että hilloista hedelmää: karhunvatukkaa, kirsikkaa, luumua ja kuivattua viikunaa. Mausteisuus, mustapippuri ja lakritsi kuuluvat tyyliin, ja tamminen kypsytys tuo vaniljaa ja paahteisuutta. Alkoholi nousee helposti korkeaksi, mutta parhaat tuottajat pitävät viinit tasapainossa raikkaalla hapolla. Viileämmiltä tarhoilta tulevat viinit ovat kevyempiä ja kirsikkaisia, kun taas lämpimien sisämaan tarhojen viinit ovat tummia, täyteläisiä ja lähes portviinimäisen kypsiä.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoni tuntee rypäleen myös vaaleanpunaisesta, makeahkosta White Zinfandelista, joka oli Yhdysvalloissa suosittu 1980-luvulla. Punainen Zinfandel on kuitenkin aivan eri viini, ja juuri se on rypäleen paras puoli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVanhat köynnökset ja Kalifornian parhaat Zinfandel-alueet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinfandelin erikoisuus ovat vanhat köynnökset. Kaliforniassa on edelleen tarhoja, jotka on istutettu yli sata vuotta sitten, ja niistä tehdään kaikkein keskittyneimmät viinit. Sonoman Dry Creek Valley ja Russian River Valley ovat Zinfandelin klassisia alueita, ja myös \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/napa-valley\"\u003eNapa Valleyssa\u003c\/a\u003e, Paso Roblesissa ja Lodissa on vahvoja Zinfandel-tarhoja. Vanhoilla tarhoilla rypäleet kasvavat usein sekaistutuksena Petite Sirahin, Carignanin ja muiden lajikkeiden kanssa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRidge Vineyards on Zinfandelin tunnetuin nimi. Sen Lytton Springs ja Geyserville ovat sekoituksia, joissa Zinfandelin rinnalla on Petite Sirahia ja Carignania, ja ne kehittyvät pullossa pitkään. Ridgeltä on valikoimassa myös yksittäisen tarhan Pagani Ranch. Hartford tekee Russian River Valleyn viileämmiltä tarhoilta eleganttia Zinfandelia, ja Williams Selyem pullottaa yksittäisiä tarhoja, kuten Papera ja Fanucchi-Wood Road. Muita valikoiman tuottajia ovat Martinelli, Rombauer, Caymus, Arnot-Roberts ja Beran. Zinfandel on myös osana sekoituksia, kuten Saxumin Broken Stones Paso Roblesista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eZinfandel ruoan kanssa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinfandel on tehty grillille. Savustettu ribsi, pulled pork, hampurilainen ja grillimakkara toimivat hyvin, samoin texmex ja muut mausteiset ruoat, kunhan chili ei ole liian polttavaa. Täyteläinen hedelmä sopii myös lammaspataan ja kypsytettyihin juustoihin. Vanhempi, pullossa kypsynyt Zinfandel kaipaa yksinkertaisempaa ruokaa, kuten paahdettua lihaa.

Lytton Springs on yhdessä Geyservillen kanssa yksi talon tärkeimmistä klassikoista ja hieno osoitus vanhojen köynnösten, perinteisen sekoituksen ja luonnollisen viininvalmistuksen yhdistelmästä.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ridge Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50135665180914,"sku":"FW-9833","price":58.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/Produkt-Grid_160c4dbb-4e18-4c8a-a22e-43138943548b.png?v=1789981956"},{"product_id":"caymus-conundrum-selected-grapes-red-2023","title":"Caymus Conundrum Selected Grapes Red 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaymus Conundrum Red on Charlie Wagnerin luoma kalifornialainen punaviiniseos, jossa yhdistyvät Zinfandel, Petite Sirah ja Cabernet Sauvignon.
