"To achieve the perfect balance of flavor and color for Beringer’s White Merlot, the wine making team gently pressed the Merlot grapes and left the red skins in contact with the juice for approximately three hours, leaving a soft, red-purple hue. The winemakers used a slow, cool fermentation to retain the bright acidity, fresh melon and citrus flavors. The resulting wine is a vibrant blend of fresh berry and zesty orange peel flavors, with a hint of nutmeg spice." -winemaker

"Delicate blush pink in color, with sweet aromas of strawberries and watermelon. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively and bursting with fruit. A light creaminess is evident, with a refreshing crisp finish. Delicious enjoyed well-chilled as an aperitif, White Zinfandel is perfect partner to all types of foods, particularly those which have slight heat or spiciness such as Asian or Latin cuisine." -winemaker

"Lush blackberry flavors, medium-bodied with hints of spice." -winemaker
