## Food pairing

The wine's medium body and soft tannins make it versatile. Its fruit-forward character complements grilled and roasted meats, while its slight sweetness can balance spicy dishes. The acidity helps cut through richer, fattier foods.

## Wine making process

The winemaking process for Prohibition Zinfandel begins with cold maceration of the Zinfandel grapes for about five days. Following this, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on oak barrels, with the toasted oak contributing to its soft, fruity character. This approach is designed to produce a wine that is both generous and easy to drink.
