Franzia White Zinfandel 5L - Item Code: 07169
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Franzia White Zinfandel, presented in an economical 5-liter box, is a blush wine that has carved out its niche in the world of casual sipping and social gatherings. This particular White Zinfandel is characterized by its light-bodied profile and a sweet nuance that appeals to a broad audience. The wine itself is derived from the Zinfandel grape, a variety known for its robust reds, yet here it’s crafted into a rosé style that emphasizes approachability over complexity.
The color palette of Franzia White Zinfandel is reminiscent of salmon hues, indicative of some skin contact during the winemaking process but not enough to impart the deep reds found in traditional Zinfandel wines. On the nose, one might detect notes of ripe strawberries and melon with an undercurrent of floral tones—hallmarks of this varietal when vinified in this lighter style.
Upon tasting, there’s an immediate recognition of its sweetness level which tends to be on the higher end for rosés. This sweetness is balanced with just enough acidity to keep it refreshing rather than cloying. The flavor profile follows through with the aromas promised on the nose: summer fruits like strawberries and raspberries come forward along with hints of citrus zest.
Franzia’s packaging choice—a bag-in-box format—speaks volumes about its intended use case scenario: it’s designed for convenience and extended freshness post-opening due to reduced oxidation. It also underscores an environmental angle; less packaging weight compared to glass bottles translates into lower carbon emissions during transportation.
