WineBuddy Zinfandel White Wine kit (Rose) - 30 Bottle Wine Kit

Rose / White Zinfandel Wine Kit 30 Bottles / 5 gallons

1. What is Zinfandel Rose Wine?

Zinfandel Rose wine is a pink wine made from the Zinfandel grape. It's also known as White Zinfandel or Zin Rosé. The wine has a light pink color and is typically sweet or off-dry. It's a popular wine in the United States and is often enjoyed during the summer months.

2. How is Zinfandel Rose Wine Made?

Rose wine is made using the saignée method, which means "bleeding" in French. During this process, a portion of the juice from the Zinfandel grapes is "bled" off the must (the mixture of grape juice, skins, and seeds) after a short period of maceration. This short maceration time gives the wine its light pink colour. The bled juice is then fermented separately to make the Zinfandel Rose wine.

3. What Does Zinfandel Rose Wine Taste Like?

Zinfandel Rose wine is known for its fruity flavours and aromas. It's typically a sweet or off-dry wine with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon. The wine has a crisp acidity and a light body, making it refreshing and easy to drink. It's a great wine to enjoy on its own or paired with lighter dishes like salads, seafood, or Asian cuisine.

4. Zinfandel Rose Wine vs. White Zinfandel

Zinfandel Rose wine and White Zinfandel are often used interchangeably, but they're not exactly the same thing. White Zinfandel is a sweeter and less complex version of Zinfandel Rose wine. It's made using the same saignée method as Zinfandel Rose, but the fermentation process is stopped early to retain more residual sugar. White Zinfandel is also a lighter shade of pink than Zinfandel Rose.

Slightly sweeter than normal Rose wines, this popular favourite, which is pink in colour, is a really easy drinking wine ideal for all occasions. Not only refreshing but packed full of fruity undertones.
