Sutter Home Description
VINEYARD INFORMATION
Our White Zinfandel is crafted from Zinfandel grapes selected from premier vineyards in California’s upper Sacramento and northern San Joaquin valleys, where the warm, sunny days and cooler nights produce grapes with juicy, fruity character and spice. To maximize the fresh, bright flavors of our White
Zinfandel, we harvest the grapes early in the growing season when sugar levels are low and acidity is relatively high.
WINEMAKING
Sutter Home White Zinfandel’s pale pink blush and touch of sweetness is a long way from Zinfandel’s dark color and spicy, peppery flavors. To create our White Zinfandel, Zinfandel grapes are immediately pressed after harvest to collect the rich, concentrated free-run juice. Winemakers then cold-ferment the juice at 60°F for ten days in stainless steel tanks, to enhance the wine’s fresh aromas, fruity flavors and crisp acidity.
TASTING NOTES
Sutter Home White Zinfandel captures your attention with its beautiful, pale rose color and delicate aromas of sun-ripened berries. Sweet, creamy strawberry and melon flavors mingle with a whisper of vanilla on the palate. A crisp, refreshing finish adds balance to this delicious, lightly sweet wine, making it the perfect partner for a wide variety of foods. Our White Zinfandel’s light, fresh flavors and bright finish beautifully complement light cheeses, cold seafood dishes, and grilled chicken, but it’s especially enjoyable with spicy Asian, Indian and Latin cuisine. Serve well-chilled.
Ultimate Wine Challenge: 90 Points
Berry aromas are bold and juicy from this pale pink wine. Fresh acidity complements the rich red fruit flavors of strawberry fruit leather, orange peel, and Bing cherries. Tangy strawberry notes linger on the finish.
