STORY

In reverence to this complex varietal, the Peritas Zinfandel is an acknowledgement of the wine style that ignited Jo Irvine’s passion for winemaking.  A single vineyard wine, displaying opulent fruit characters and beautifully balanced tannins.

PERITAS: Greek warrior Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) used greyhounds during his military campaigns. One faithful battle, his favourite greyhound Peritas fought a war elephant. Alexander was so impressed at the faithfulness and bravery of Peritas that he ordered a state funeral for his friend, named a city after him and had a statue erected in his honour in the city square.
