Gibson Discovery Road Zinfandel 2015

After many years of experimentation and trial, this little vineyard planted to Zinfandel (Primitivo) nearly 20 years ago has finally born the fruit it was always destined to do. While working as a Viticulturist for Penfolds, Rob Gibson convinced a colleague to plant some Zinfandel vines in a plot adjacent to the famous Kalimna vineyard and after coming to grips with the variety and site, a wine truly worthy of a separate release has been born. Displaying an all too rare complexity due to extended barrel ageing, this Zin is blended with a touch of Merlot to give it a rounded, soft, plush feel while still retaining that vibrant and lifted floral nature.
