Pitmaster Zinfandel 750 ml

Estate Summary

Crafted in California, the spiritual home of Zinfandel, Pitmaster Zinfandel is a bold, fruit-driven red that pays homage to the classic American tradition of smoky barbecue and open-fire cooking. Designed with generosity and flavour in mind, this wine embodies the rich, ripe style for which Zinfandel is renowned—powerful yet approachable, indulgent yet easy to enjoy.

Tasting Notes

This full-bodied Zinfandel shows a deep ruby-red colour with garnet reflections. The nose is intensely aromatic, brimming with blackberries, raspberries, and dark plums, layered with notes of vanilla, sweet spice, and toasted oak. On the palate, it delivers plush, jammy fruit flavours alongside hints of pepper, mocha, and caramel. Soft tannins and balanced acidity provide a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering fruit and spice.

Food Pairing

As its name suggests, Pitmaster Zinfandel is the ultimate partner for smoky, grilled, and flavour-packed dishes:

• Barbecue & Smoked Meats: A natural match for pulled pork, sticky ribs, or flame-grilled sausages, echoing the wine’s sweet-spice character.
• Hearty Beef Dishes: Complements chargrilled ribeye, beef brisket, or slow-braised short ribs, balancing richness with fruit-forward intensity.
• Spicy Cuisine: Stands up beautifully to Cajun-spiced chicken, chili con carne, or pepperoni pizza, where its lush fruit softens the heat.
• Vegetarian Fare: Enhances dishes like smoky bean chili, mushroom burgers, or roasted Mediterranean vegetables, highlighting earthy and savoury notes.
• Cheese Pairings: Pairs wonderfully with aged cheddar, smoked Gouda, or blue cheese, where bold flavours mirror the wine’s depth.

Rich, Bold & Made for the Grill

Pitmaster Zinfandel is a flavour-packed, crowd-pleasing red that was crafted with food—and especially barbecue—in mind. Its combination of ripe fruit, smoky spice, and smooth finish makes it the perfect companion for relaxed gatherings, hearty meals, and unforgettable moments shared around the fire.
