Etymology

The history of Zinfandel grape can be traced back to the mid-19th century when it was introduced to California by Croatian immigrants. It is believed to be a progeny of an ancient grape varietal native to the Adriatic region. In the 1970s and 1980s, Zinfandel experienced a significant revival in popularity, especially as American winemakers began to explore and embrace the grapeโ€™s potential. During this time, it became recognized as the 'official grape' of California due to its extensive cultivation and the unique style of wine it produces, characterized by its fruit-forward and spicy flavors. The Zinfandel grape has since carved a niche in the wine market, celebrated for its versatility and ability to reflect the terroir of the regions where it is grown.
