Tasting Note:
Jajaja is glou glou with real intention: bright, juicy, and built to chill, but not simple. It leads with raspberry, strawberry, and watermelon candy energy, then turns slightly spiced and savory with a little hibiscus-floral lift and a snap of fresh acidity. The Zinfandel brings the juicy core, while the tiny co-ferment of Colombard, Gewürztraminer, and Albariño adds this subtle citrusy pop and aromatic edge that keeps the wine feeling electric. Light tannin, smooth texture, clean finish. Serve it with a chill and it becomes dangerously easy.

About the Producer:
Tinto Amorio is Anish Patel’s California project focused on organic fruit, native fermentation, and drink-now wines that still feel thoughtful. Jajaja is the playful bottling in the lineup, made with a semi-carbonic approach for maximum freshness, bright aromatics, and pure “open it with friends” energy.
