Manufacturing
There is a new track in Michael David’s “band of freaks”. We present the fantastic fire-eater Freakshow Zinfandel. It’s the third track in Freakshow’s line-up and it’s a tribute to Michael David’s roots in Lodi, a region known for its fantastic Zinfandel wines. Zinfandel is often known as a slightly cheeky and opulent grape variety, but the female fire eater shows a softer and sexier side of the grape with this light type of Zinfandel.

A booming bass of a wine matured in used, primarily American casks. Warm and spicy nose. Sweet on the palate with lightly perfumed notes, plums, licorice and vanilla. Fine structure driven by the fruit. Nice, long, warm finish. Maybe a little bloated.
