Francis Ford Coppola Director’s Cut Zinfandel

Made with fruit grown entirely in the Dry Creek Valley appellation, where the combination of climate and location produces excellent Zinfandel fruit with intensely concentrated flavor.

Half of the fruit was crushed whole, and the must (seeds and skins) was fermented in open-top fermentors for maximum color extraction and flavor enhancement.

The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for twelve months, creating a wine with deep, rich layers of blueberries, raspberries, dark chocolate and mint, along with a lingering vanilla caramel finish.

Delicious with soup, pork and spicey dishes.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Der US-Amerikaner Francis Ford Coppola ist vielen als erfolgreicher Regisseur und Produzent bekannt. Er führte Regie bei berühmten Klassikern wie „Der Pate“ und „Apocalypse Now“ und zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Filmschaffenden des US-amerikanischen Kinos.

In Geyserville in Kalifornien betreibt Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut. Die Kulisse seines unweit von Hollywood gelegenen Anwesens erinnert in vielerlei Hinsicht an seine effektvollen Filme. Die Weinherstellung hat in der Familie Coppola Tradition. Bereits sein Großvater produzierte im Keller seiner New Yorker Wohnung Wein aus kalifornischen Trauben. 1979 erwarb Francis Ford Coppola den ersten Teil des Weingutes Inglenook in Kalifornien. 1995 kaufte er die verbliebenen Teile des Anwesens und baut seitdem hauptsächlich die Rebsorte Cabernet Sauvignon an.

2007 erweiterte Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut um das Château Sovereign im Sonoma Valley. Dort werden von seinem Winemaker Corey Beck unter anderem die Weinserien „Diamond Collection" und „Director‘s Cut" produziert. Beste Weinbau-Bedingungen bieten Coppola das zuverlässig warme Klima in Kalifornien und die vielseitigen Anbauflächen auf vulkanischen Böden, Schwemmland-Böden oder auch sehr steinigen Lehmböden.

Product recommendation

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Zinfandel
This dry red wine from the Napa Valley seduces with a beautiful aroma. The bouquet of cloves, strawberry, plum and black forest berry is very characteristic of this grape and very intense. The grapes are grown throughout California and Oregon and are carefully combined.On the palate, the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Zinfandel is balanced with the taste of delicious jam and pepper. Creamy and intense, plenty of depth and power, ripe and savory, slightly spicy, with round tannins and a hint of minerality on the finish.This Californian wine is perfect with lamb, pork or pâté. It also pairs very well with Mediterranean dishes with tomato sauce.

Robert Mondavi Vint Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of red berries and a fine spicy flavor characterize Robert Mondavi Vint Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of blackberry, black currant and black cherry followed by hints of toast, oak, roasted nuts and delicate vanilla give a complex, seductive bouquet. On the palate the blend of  Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Petit Syrah and Malbec and Tannat offers a remarkable depth. The wine is soft and full-bodied, with juicy, concentrated fruit and fine toasted notes. The fresh acidity gives the wine its vitality.Enjoy this composition from the California Central Coast wine-growing region to grilled lamb chops or roast beef.

Barista Pinotage
A South African taste experience of intense, rich coffee and chocolate aromas with nuances of ripe mulberries, plums and cherries.This dry red wine is also the perfect accompaniment to food. It pairs very well with dark meat, creamy casseroles and even intense desserts. Also a great accompaniment to blue cheese or Belgian chocolate. Vinified ready to drink from the start for immediate enjoyment. We recommend 18 °C as the ideal drinking temperature.The Barista Pinotage from the Val De Vie vineyard is made from 100% Pinotage grapes from the Robertson region. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness in mid-February and divided into different batches and treated in different ways.Certain batches were treated by short heating to optimize color and then returned to the skins for alcoholic fermentation. Other batches were pasteurized and immediately fermented on oak to achieve the dark, rich coffee flavors. Still other batches were fermented conventionally on the skins and pumped over several times during alcoholic fermentation and racked into French oak to complete fermentation. All batches were stabilized by malolactic fermentation in French oak.

On the palate, notes of cassis, raspberry, plums and dark chocolate.Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Claret matured for 12 months in French oak. By bringing together grapes from vineyards in Napa, Sonoma and El Dorado, it is a wonderfully complex composition that nevertheless offers a wonderfully balanced pleasure.

Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon
The Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding - or the Americans would say "outstanding" - wine from the Sonoma Valley. The director created "very big Hollywood" with this grape juice, with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Merlot Cabernet Franc, among others, also playing a part as extras.Coppola places particular emphasis on the subtleties here, as befits a director's cut. Particularly gentle fermentation, 15 months of ageing in French and American oak barrels and precise selection of the grapes according to the respective plots are the special effects used here by Coppola and his oenologist Cory Beck.The result is a powerful epic, with blackcurrants, cigar box, plums and black cherries on the nose. The opulent and full-bodied palate shows plenty of red and black berry fruit, tobacco, leather and vanilla. The finish is long-lasting and worthy of an exciting showdown.Overall, this dry red wine from the USA is a well-rounded, fruity wine with plenty of complexity, making it ideal as a solo wine. It benefits from 1 to 2 hours of decanting and will remain at the peak of drinking maturity for several years.Try this wine with pâtés, game, lamb, steak or blue cheese.
