All the grapes for the wines are grown on the Estate. Oak-aged wines from the Estate's reserve cellars are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Roederer style. Only the cuvée (first pressing of 120 gallons\/ton) is used; no premiere or deuxieme taille. The fermentation takes place in high-grade stainless steel tanks at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Zero to minimal malolactic fermentation is used in order to ensure that the wines age well and retain the fresh, somewhat austere style that is one of the characteristics of Roederer wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49487927017789,"sku":"RO4VALL6NV","price":389.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/9516-1.jpg?v=1729029259"},{"product_id":"ravenswood-old-vine-sonoma-county-zinfandel-2014-california","title":"Ravenswood 'Old Vine' Sonoma County Zinfandel 2014 (California)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThis Sonoma County Zin is warm and flavourful, enveloping your senses with blueberry, blackberry, natural vanilla, and baking spice flavours.
