Proprietor's Cuvée White Zinfandel
White Zinfandel is called a Blush Wine in North America and a Rosé or Blanc de Noir in France. It is made from Zinfandel (a red wine grape) and kept pale in color by quickly removing the skins from the juice after the grapes are pressed, which stops the transfer of color from the grape skin's dark pigments. The wine is then made like a white wine. Most White Zinfandels are slightly sweet.
Tasting Notes
This semi-sweet blush style wine provides a fresh, crisp berry aroma and a delicate, refreshing fruit flavour of strawberries and citrus. It is an easy sipping wine when served well chilled. A great base for spritzers, this wine is perfect for toasting celebrations when mixed with sparkling soda.
Awards and Accolades
"A mild, pale coloured pinkie with raspberry, rosewater aromas. Semi-sweet, soft and easy going with Vidal acidity enlivening the finish. Chill for summer sipping."
