VARIETAL
Ariél White Zinfandel is produced from select California vineyards growing
Zinfandel exclusively for White Zinfandel production, with an emphasis on vineyards
producing grapes with a strawberry fruit character.
WINEMAKING
Ariél White Zinfandel is made from the red Zinfandel grape. Once harvested,
the grapes are crushed and the juice is allowed to ferment at 50ºF (10ºC)
in stainless steel cooperage with the skins until the desired color is extracted.
The skins are then removed, and the blush colored must is fermented to dryness.
Just prior to bottling the alcohol is gently removed via cold filtration.
WINEMAKER NOTES
A lovely light rose color, with strawberry, raspberry and hints of boysenberry
aromas. Ariél White Zinfandel is a wonderful accompaniment with fruit
and cheese, shrimp, scallops, lighter pasta dishes and desserts. A classic to
serve at picnics and barbecues, Ariél White Zinfandel can be enjoyed
anytime.
