Wednesday October 28 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 15 Wine On the trail of red grape tribidrag • By Mark Henderson MENTIONING THE Croatian red grape tribidrag will likely result in blank looks. Its claim to fame, however, is that it was the end point of a great deal of research and DNA profiling centred around zinfandel, most commonly (and extensively) found in California. There had been suspicions that zinfandel might be connected or related to primitivo, which is grown in Puglia, the “heel” of Italy. Advancements in DNA profiling technology in the 1990s led to the confirmation of this hypothesis, with further research unearthing a parent/offspring relationship to the Croatian grape plavac mali. This discovery led scientists to the Dalmatia area of Croatia, where a local grape called crljenak kastelanski was found to be a genetic match to zinfandel. Further research on this latter grape led to the discovery of a genetic match with the even more ancient Croatian variety tribidrag. Tribidrag/crljenak kastelanski, Croatia’s most successful grape export, thrives under its new monikers in both Puglia and the United States, where it initially arrived on the East Coast in the 1820s before being taken west during the great gold rush. In California, its roughly 20,000ha make it the secondmost-planted red grape after cabernet sauvignon and some 60 per cent greater than the plantings in Puglia. It is also found in Montenegro, Mexico, other US states, the Languedoc and Australia, while the latest New Zealand Winegrowers figures list a scant 2ha planted in New Zealand. Wines made from zinfandel/ primitivo are typically opulent, lush, relatively high in alcohol, with bold fruit flavours such as raspberry, blueberry, dark cherry, plum and jam, backed by spice, liquorice and pepper characters. Super-ripe examples can move into the pruney, porty spectrum, while lighter versions emphasise red fruits. Mostly flying solo but sometimes seen in blends, they are generously flavoured and supple, invariably offering great bang for buck. 2018 McManis Family Vineyards California Zinfandel Price: $25.99 Rating: Excellent Bonfire smoke, darker fruits, milk chocolate, spices and a creamy note with time. Initially rounded and supple, a mix of red and dark fruits with chocolate, yet brightness and freshness too. With time red berryfruit and cranberry take the lead, the structure builds, the wine becoming more coiled, oak spices framing the close. Nice vibrancy here. www.mcmanisfamilyvineyards. com 2018 Poggio Anima Lilith Salento Primitivo Price: $21.99 Rating: Very good to excellent Darker, almost brooding expression, berry jam, wisps of herb, savoury notes. The palate continues the savoury theme, with prunes, redcurrant and tangy berryfruit. Evoking the hot Italian sun. Crunchy, chewiness to the tannins with a sweet, lifted fruit nose evolving. Super-ripe fruit, yet a tingly quality keeps this in line. Fascinatingly different from the US expression. www.poggioanima.com 2017 Bogle Old Vine California Zinfandel Price: $27-$29 Rating: Excellent to outstanding Perfume, cedary oak, blueberry, spices, cocoa powder. Mixed summer berries, plums, milk chocolate, added layers of dried herbs and umami nuances revealing themselves. The fruit fills the mouth, neatly balanced by freshening acidity, with lovely complexity and a long finish. Manages to be hedonistic rather than bombastic. Huge pleasure in a glass of this. www.boglewinery.com WE HAVE A HUGE RANGE OF TOOLS TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT WHAT’S YOUR VISION? What kind of Greater Christchurch do you want to see in 2050?
