For beginners -- Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi White Zinfandel

Country of production is US, California. Wine varietal is Zinfandel blend. Type is rosé wine.

The bottling looks slightly different compared to when I first started out trying to drink wine. This wine is introduced by my drinking pal for easy drinking for beginners. Reason being it's a light wine, and its sweet taste makes it easy for drinking, also accounting for the fact that the alcohol content is slightly lower. For wine drinkers, it might even taste like drinking soft drinks! This wine is to be served chilled, I believe if served too warm is not as pleasant a drink as it might end up tasting too sweet at a warm temperature.

White Zinfandel is made from Zinfandel wine grape. Surprisingly, Zinfandel grapes are red grapes typically producing rich red wine. It is the method of processing the grapes which makes white Zinfandel a light drink.

Rosé wine has some colouring of a red wine, just sufficiently to make it turn pink. The wine is produced in 3 main ways: skin contact, bleeding and blending. Skin contact method is when the grape skin is left in contact with the juice for a few days to impart the colouring. Bleeding method is where the producer drains a portion of the juice away from the main container, and the drained portion is fermented separately. This drained portion is produced as rosé. Blending is where red wine is mixed to white.

Wine Tasting Notes (from the label)
Woodbridge White Zinfandel displays a pretty pastel color and refreshing, lightly sweet flavors. The delicate red berry, cranberry, floral, jasmine tea and orange zest character comes from Zinfandel accented with a proprietary blend of other grapes varieties. Served chilled, our White Zinfandel tastes great with appetizers on a warm summer evening or with a buffet lunch of cheeses, meat cold-cuts and fresh green salads. Its also a fun wine to serve around the holidays and, like cranberry sauce, complements Thanksgiving turkey. Enjoy White Zinfandel within a year or two of the vintage. Varietal blend: 50% Zinfandel, 50% proprietary blend of red and white varieties.
