Portraits of America L.A. Zin, White Zinfandel Rose

Portraits of America L.A. Zin White Zinfandel Rose Portraits of America L.A. Zin is exactly the sort of rose that keeps things simple in the best possible way: pale pink, soft, fruity and very easy to pour. It comes from old vine vineyards in central California, with Zinfandel grapes lightly crushed to make a pretty pink wine before cool vinification in stainless steel.

The style is gently off-dry, with strawberry ice cream aromas, bright berry fruit and a soft, refreshing finish. It is not trying to be a bone-dry Provence rose; it is a cheerful Californian White Zinfandel for people who like their rose fruity, chilled and uncomplicated. Open it for garden drinks, casual get-togethers, spicy snacks, summer salads or anything with a bit of sweet chilli heat. Best served properly cold.
