Description

The Barefoot White Zinfandel is a quintessential expression of California's accessible, fruit-forward winemaking style. Since its inception, Barefoot has focused on creating wines that are unpretentious, fun, and easy-drinking, and this White Zinfandel is perhaps their most iconic offering. Crafted from the Zinfandel grape—a varietal often associated with bold, spicy red wines—this 'white' version undergoes a gentle pressing to limit skin contact, resulting in its signature delicate salmon-pink hue.

On the palate, this wine is delightfully approachable. It features a semi-sweet profile that balances vibrant acidity with the luscious, sun-ripened flavors of Georgia peaches, fresh strawberries, and tropical pineapple. A hallmark of the style is its light, refreshing nature, often finished with a tiny touch of effervescence that keeps the palate lively and craving another sip.

Because of its versatile, fruit-driven character, it is an exceptionally food-friendly wine. It pairs beautifully with casual favorites like soft cheeses (such as Brie), fresh fruit platters, and light appetizers. Its slight sweetness also makes it a fantastic companion for spicy dishes, as the fruit notes help to temper the heat, or even for a relaxing afternoon on the patio. For the best experience, serve it well-chilled, or even over ice for a cooling, summer-ready treat. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party, preparing for a picnic, or simply looking for a stress-free bottle to enjoy after a long day, the Barefoot White Zinfandel offers reliable, joyful refreshment in every glass. It captures the essence of a California summer and brings it directly to your table at an unbeatable value.
