Is a white Zinfandel rose wine?
Before the 1960s, Zinfandel was only used as one of the blending grape varieties. It came to its own in the 1960s and 1970s. In order to make white Zinfandel wine, the winemaker removes the skin from the red Zinfandel grapes. Without this red skin, the resultant wine is sweet in flavor and light in color. White Zinfandel or White Zin – as it is popularly known – is a pale rose wine sweet in taste. Unfortunately, the more serious wine drinkers do not think much of White Zin because it is young and tastes sweet. However, it can be a great starting wine for many people who are new to buying wine on line.

Grown in the California Wine Region
The White Zin was first prepared by El Pinal Winery in 1869. In 1970s, a premium producer of Zinfandel red wine, Sutter Home Winery, used the saignée method to get rid of some of the red grape juice before fermentation so that the taste of the wine could become more robust. This isolated juice was fermented separated from the rest of the wine. They called it White Zinfandel and it started to send wine sales flying.

In its early days, The White Zinfandel wine types were known as Cabernet Blanc or White Cabernet. Sutter Home realized that they could actually make money by selling something that they had set aside as useless. Gradually, they became successful producers of inexpensive wines. Later, the Beringer White Zinfandel helped develop the market.

The sweet flavor of the White Zinfandel makes it perfect for a warm summer day. It is perfect for people who like carbonated beverages and fruit juices.

White Zin should be paired in such a way that it should complement the dish that is being eaten. Make sure that the sweetness of White Zinfandel wines go well with your main course.

White Zin should not be served at room temperature. It should be between 40 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit at the time of serving. The wine itself should best be consumed from rose glasses.

White Zin should be consumed with light meals like pasta, fish and other seafood. The general rule for wine pairing is simple: white meat with white wine and red meat with red wine. Other possible white meat options include chickens and pork chops and chicken sandwiches. The food should not be a heavy course since a sweet wine will not pair well with such a meal.

There is a light creaminess with a crispy finish within White Zinfandel. White Zinfandel wines go perfect with slightly heated food or spicy food like Asian and Latin American cuisine because its sweet taste helps in toning down the spices.
