Review

Barefoot Wines are America’s #1 brand, and with this drink they play to their pop swigging audience’s sweet tooth. Sadly as it is wrong in so many ways.  It’s actually a rosé, but was fermented by accident as a rosé with a high residual sugar content (and consequent low ABV) which for seemingly randomly got called a white.  So what we have is a sweet, low ABV rosé that glows almost orange, leaves a bad taste in your mouth and isn’t what is says on the tin.  Basically Donald Trump personified as a wine.

Mashed.com have ranked all 16 of the Barefoot Wines range and rightly this one comes 15th out of 16.  By the way, bottom at #16 was their Pink Moscato – a ranking I won’t dispute but I was pleased to see that at #4 came their 9% Californian Moscato – a wine of which I am very fond.  So it’s not all bad at Barefoot Wines.

How we came to buy it in a box is another mystery to me.  But it is also available in bottles.

 

Makers Notes

Dip your toes into the palate-pleasing flavours of our White Zinfandel and you’ll discover a fabulous range of fruits: sun-ripened strawberries, succulent pears, lush pineapple, juicy peach. Delicious enjoyed on its own, White Zinfandel works superbly as a spritzer in a tall glass or simply poured over ice. This wine is excellent served chilled alongside a variety of foods. Pair it with appetizers – especially fresh fruits and cheeses – chicken and seafood. It’s also a superb wine to use as a base for a cocktail. White Zinfandel is the star in this Peach White Zin Sangria recipe. Just mix White Zinfandel with cranberry juice, pineapple juice, peach schnapps, lemon-lime soda and orange, add a handful of ice, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing cocktail to set the perfect party tone.
