In making Beringer's White Zinfandel, the focus is to highlight the fresh red berry, citrus and melon aromas and flavors, and round them out with subtle hints of nutmeg and clove. The wine has a youthful exuberance that is enjoyable as a sipper on its own, or with a variety of dishes.White Zinfandel is a rosé wine and has the same pink colour as other rosé wines, which could fool you into thinking that they will all taste similar. White Zinfandel has a sweeter taste and is much milder than a drier Barefoot Pink Pinot Grigio for example.The winemaking process starts the same way as if you were making red Zinfandel — the grapes are crushed, and fermentation begins with the skins on the grapes. However, after only a couple of hours, the wine is drained off the skins and continues fermentation in the same way as white wine.It is made from Zinfandel grapes, which are typically used to produce a full-bodied and spicy red wine called Zinfandels. White Zinfandels were purportedly created by Sutter Home Family Vineyards winemaker Bob Trinchero in 1975 through a chance occurrence during the fermentation process.
