Beringer Vineyards White Zinfandel Chardonnay 750ml

This wine is from United States, California region. Beringer's vineyard team selects grapes for the Premier Vineyard Selection White Zinfandel from vineyards throughout California's North Coast, where cool Pacific breezes temper warm summer days to produce fully ripened berries with natural balancing acidity. A large portion of the grapes are grown in Beringer's Lake County vineyards where long, warm days at elevations between 1000-2000 feet produce deeply-flavored Zinfandel. The remaining grapes come from Napa Valley and Sonoma County.. Pittsburgh Post - Gazette Has a lovely light pink color and elegant aromas of fresh berries and citrus blossom. The blend of 20 percent chardonnay adds crisp apple flavors to the berry flavors. The wine is well balanced with a hint of sweetness. (Dave DeSimone) January 24, 2002 . This LVS White Zinfandel was made using the traditional French blanc de noirs method, in which red grapes are used to make a white wine by pressing the juice off the red grape skins after just a day or so, when the wine has achieved a rich, ruby hue and rounded structure from the phenolics and tannins in the red grape skins. Following fermentation at strictly controlled temperatures to preserve the Zinfandel's aromas and flavors of freshly picked strawberries and bright citrus, Ed blended in 20 percent Chardonnay that had been fermented in French Nevers oak barrels.. The Chardonnay fattens and rounds out the Zinfandel, making the wine creamier, underlining its notes of citrus and cinnamon spice, and adding a hint of pear, pineapple and lychee. It also enhances the middle palate-the impression we get of the wine between the first taste and the finish.. White Zinfandel is a very flexible wine that pairs well with any dish, from the best steak to spicy Asian, Mexican or Southern dishes and everything in between. CHARDONNAY^ZINFANDEL Wine
