A New Look For Dry Creek’s Old Vine Zinfandel

Dry Creek Valley - Old Vine ZinfandelDry Creek Vineyard, a family-owned winery in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, has released their newest vintage Old Vine Zinfandel in a striking new package and innovative cork closure. 

Since 1972, the winery has been a leader in the preservation of historic old vine Zinfandel vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley. In fact, the winery was the first to coin the term “Old Vine” with the 1987 vintage. 

With the release of the 2013 Old Vine Zinfandel, the winery has taken another step in telling the story of these iconic properties with a newly designed package. According to winery President Kim Stare Wallace, the goal was to honor the pre-Prohibition nature of these vines while also innovating for the next generation of wine drinkers. “I wanted the package to connect to the past – hence, the idea of an old ticket, like the one you would get on a steamship crossing the Atlantic. I also wanted to share a bounty of information about the wine. These are incredible historic Zinfandel vineyards so I wanted to connect the dots from the vineyard through to the winemaking. Finally, I like the idea of what is old is new again.” 

The cork closure is another exciting aspect of the bottling. The winery laser printed detailed information about the cork directly onto the closure. Data such as the age of the cork forest, the harvest date of the trees and detailed information about the sustainable habitat these incredible forests provide to the Iberian Lynx and Spanish Imperial Hawk are some of the details that appear on the cork.
