Varietal

White Zinfandel

White Zinfandel, often misunderstood as a separate grape variety, is a style of wine originating from the red Zinfandel grape. What makes White Zinfandel unique is its production method, involving minimal skin contact during fermentation, resulting in a lighter color and sweeter profile. Contrary to its red counterpart, White Zinfandel is often off-dry to sweet, with flavors of strawberries, melons, and sometimes a hint of citrus.

This style gained popularity in the United States, particularly in California, where it became associated with easy-drinking, approachable wines. White Zinfandel’s inherent fruitiness and sweetness make it a crowd-pleaser, appealing to those seeking a refreshing and uncomplicated wine. While it may differ from traditional dry wines, White Zinfandel offers a gateway into the diverse world of wine preferences, making it an accessible choice for those who enjoy a sweeter, fruit-forward experience.
