Tasting Notes
When Bob Trinchero first created White Zinfandel in the Sutter Home Winery in the 1970s, the wine was a delicate balance of sweetness and acidity. This combination creates the deliciously refreshing White Zinfandel that we all know and love today. Premier Napa Valley grapes give this White Zinfandel the distinctive characters that can only come from California’s most prestigious winemaking location. The wine is off-dry wine and refreshing with delicate flavors of strawberries and sweet ripe melon.
Winemaker Notes
The Sutter Home Reserve White Zinfandel is beautifully crafted at Sutter Home’s Napa Valley winery, located just south of Saint Helena. After harvesting and crushing the Zinfandel grapes, the juice is left on skin contact for 24 hours to enhance flavor and color. Our winemaker uses 100% free run juice from the Zinfandel and then cold ferments with Prise de Mousse to enhance and preserve fruit characters. Arrested fermentation is then employed to enhance body and mouth-feel.
Food Pairing
Try pairing it with any food with a light spice, such as Thai or Latin.
