Zinfandel Grapes and Bulk Wine for Sale
Zinfandel is genetically the same grape as Italy's Primitivo, and is closely tied to California, where it has been grown for well over a century. Its clusters ripen unevenly, so a single bunch can hold raisined berries next to green ones, and the timing of the pick matters more than it does for most varieties.
It is a stronghold variety in several regions on this site. Sonoma County has about 4,760 acres, Paso Robles has long treated it as its heritage grape, and Lodi is known for it too. Old-vine Zinfandel is a selling point in its own right, but only if the grower can document the age of the vines.
Zinfandel grapes on HarvestLink are priced by the ton and bulk wine by the gallon. Sellers can list openly or under NDA.

What to check before you buy or sell
- Ask the vine age and request documentation if you plan to market it as old-vine. There is no legal definition of the term.
- Ask about the harvest approach. Uneven ripening means sorting or multiple picks can affect quality and cost.
- Ask about brix and expected alcohol, since Zinfandel can reach high sugar.
- For bulk wine, ask for the analysis (ABV, total sulfites, volatile acidity) on the actual lot.
