Tasting Notes
A deep pink rose that offers an attractive bouquet and palate of summer fruit such as strawberries and raspberries and a hint of candy. Perfect for a sunny day, it is mouth-watering with a delightful freshness to balance the juicy fruit for an easy drinking and refreshing rosé. This bright rosé is easy to love as it was made in steel to enhance those delicious fruity notes and retain freshness in this crisp wine.
Food
Best served lightly chilled as an aperitif, or perfect with Indian, Thai and other Asian
cuisines.
Region
The state of California is by far the most important producer of wine in the USA. Its grape growers succeed in many differing environments up and down the state from the fog influenced coastal valleys of Sonoma, Napa and Carneros, to the hot irrigated Central Valley and Monterey, Santa Barbera and Edna Valley on the Pacific coast and to Themecula on the Mexican boarder.
Producer
Feather Falls is the product of expert negociants who have selected, vinified and blended to create a consistent rose wine in perfect conditions. Zinfandel grapes, ideally suited to the Californian climate, are selected from across the vineyards of California’s Central Valley and are carefully vinified for a short time before removing the grape skins. Although Zinfandel is a red grape variety, the rose version, confusingly named White Zinfandel, was created to resolve a temporary glut of grapes when the popularity of red Zinfandel dwindled in 1980s. The success of White Zinfandel has been one of the wine phenomena of recent times.
