What type of wine is White Zinfandel?

White Zinfandel is classified as a rosé wine. This type of wine is made from red Zinfandel grapes, but the production method involves minimal skin contact during fermentation, resulting in a pink hue rather than the deep red typical of red wines. The brief exposure to the grape skins allows for some flavor and color extraction, but not enough to produce a fully red wine. It is often characterized by its light, fruity flavors and sweetness, appealing to those who prefer a sweeter style of rosé. The term "rosé" specifically refers to wines made from red grape varieties that exhibit a pink color, differentiating them from both red and white wines.
