Summary:

Zig Zag Road is such an inspiring affair.  A young wife and husband duo (Harriet and Henry) took over the vineyard 3 years ago, and what they’ve already brought to the place is almost unbelievable.  There is a “crowd-sourced” ethos to almost everything ZZR does (always in consultation with the local community and passionate customers) that is reflected in how they think about everything from planting a vine to designing a label.  There is also a super-clear love of land and fellow human being that threads through every aspect of the operation.  And while some of that might sound (admittedly, even to us!) a bit “hippy-dippy”, the proof is every bit in the pudding, and what a delicious pudding ZZR is cooking! To give you an idea of the spectrum here, our favourite wines on a recent visit were the exquisitely traditional old-vine Pinot Noir with its gentle mesh of subtle complexity, and the more lightening in a bottle / Thor-hath-spoken wild ferment red field blend – this plucky brew is raw and edgy in all the right ways!  It’s like the passion and ethos described above have gone right into that bottle!
