Tasting Note

Packed with notes of luscious strawberry ice cream on the nose supported by a bright and juicy red berry palate and an off-dry finish. Hugely juicy!

Winemaking

Black-skinned Zinfandel grapes can be made into bold and spicy red wine, but this time they have been crushed and vinified very gently to produce a gorgeous fruity blush. Vinified in stainless steel to preserve the fruit’s natural flavours and freshness.

Fun Fact

Showdown wines from California take their label inspiration from cartomancy (the art of fortune telling). The main characteristic of each wine is matched to characters from a classic pack of cards. 

Queen of Hearts represents a daring and beautiful widow. She is mirrored by the Queen of Swords in Tarot cards, representing strong feminine power and energy.

Food pairing

The slightly off-dry palate makes this a delicious pairing with sweet chili marinated tiger prawns. Alternatively, try with grilled halloumi kebabs and a drizzle of honey, or simply chilled and enjoyed with friends!
