Domaine La Tour Vieille Cap de Creus Rancio Sec (Case only) skus_30193605 Ironstone Reserve Old Vine ZinfandelThis red high alcohol wine is fully fermented (it no longer contains any sugar) and is then stored in half filled barrels that induce oxidation. The last step after many years of ageing in barrels takes place in a foudre' (big oak barrel), which is only half full.
