How old is the vine of an “old vine”wine?Ask The Wine Ladies October 2013

/0 Comments/in /by

 Dear Wine Ladies,

Over the last couple of years I’ve been enjoying Zinfandel more and more, particularly the ones that indicate coming from old vines. I’ve only ever seen them from California and was wondering if it is a grape that orginate’s from there or if other places make them? Speaking of “old vines” how old do they have to be, to be able to claim that on the label?

Graham, Vancouver.
