Premier Vineyard ion White Zinfandel & Chardonnay

Premier Vineyard Selection White Zinfandel & Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $8.00 per bottle

Description: Using the traditional blanc de noirs method, Beringer’s winemakers highlighted Zinfandel’s characteristically bright, fruity characteristics to create a light, refreshing blush wine. Immediately following crush, the must (pulp, juice and skins) was quickly chilled to preserve fresh strawberry, raspberry and orange peel aromas and flavors. Just as a slight rose hue developed, the juice was pressed off the skins and fermented at carefully controlled, cool temperatures. To impart a slightly creamy texture and round out the vibrant berry and citrus flavors with notes of pear, apple and nutmeg spice, winemakers blended in approximately twenty-percent barrel-fermented Chardonnay.
