White Zinfandel Wine

White Zinfandel wines are blush wines made in California from early-picked Zinfandel grapes. The red grapes are quickly separated from their skins during crushing and fermentation so that the resulting wine is very light pink; thus these wines have far less color, alcohol and flavors than normally fermented Zinfandels.

These blush wines have gained acclaim with many local and non-local wine enthusiasts. The light strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors are coupled with just enough acid to balance the modest residual sugar in this wine. The soft pink color catches the eye and the fruity bouquet begs the first sip. This wine is best served chilled with a nice picnic or try putting it in the freezer and serving it a little slushy. There’s nothing more refreshing on a warm summer day.
