Description

Sandlands is the personal project of Tegan Passalacqua, the renown winemaker and old vine Zinfandel specialist for TurleyWinc Company. The line-up encompasses the forgotten classic California varieties, primarily grown in decomposed granite (sand), from regions and vineyards that have been farmed for many generations but have remained the outliers of California viticulture. Primarily head-trained, dry-farmed and own rooted, the vineyards he works with harken back to California’s roots of exploration, wonder, and hard work.  We were allocated two cases of this Zinfandel. 

This Zinfandel is from the Kirschenmann Vineyard located on the east side of Lodi’s Mokelumne River AVA. Planted in 1915 in silica rich, white sandy soils. 14.4% alc. 14 barrels produced.
