On National Zinfandel Day, i though SOMEONE should post an “original” Zinfandel. 😉 As most of you know by now, Zinfandel is not in fact an American grape. This varietal originated in Croatia and there it is called Tribidrag or Crljenak Kastelanski. I toast you all with this 2015 Matela Crljenak Kastelanski which is available in our web wine store (Topochines.com). Try it out and see how this varietal tastes in its native terroir. —————————————————— #tribidrag #iamtribidrag #crljenakkaštelanski #zinfandel #originalzin #nationalzinfandelday #croatianwine #redwine #zinfandellover #matelawines #dalmatianwines #dalmatianwine https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GJPL8n4dX/?igshid=1242rw9kgiy35

The first time I tasted this Tribidrag from Rizman Winery in Croatia, I didn’t love it. But I gave it another try and had a much different - and better - experience the second time around. The 2015 had bright flavors of red fruits - cranberry, raspberry, sour cherry - and nice acidity. This is a very earthy wine which is how I like my Tribidrag. For those of you who may have forgotten ...Tribidrag is Zinfandel (which originated in Croatia). —————————————————— #tribidrag #iamtribidrag #rizmanwinery #croatia #croatiawine #croatianwine #winesofcroatia #winesofdalmatia #dalmatianwine https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKwyxEHrIi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5cd478w8m4u
