Sunset Point Zinfandel Blush 2025
£8.45
The wine
A smooth, medium-style rosé with classic red berry and pink grapefruit aromas enhanced by hints of black pepper and wild herbs. The delicate berry flavours have a refreshing citrus edge and light peppery spice.
Zinfandel is one of the great puzzles of wine. Its origins were unknown for two centuries until DNA analysis in the early 2000s proved it identical to Primitivo in Puglia and to Tribidrag, a Croatian variety that was nearly extinct in its homeland by the time the connection was made.
The producer
Sunset Point
View all Sunset Point winesSunset Point is a Zinfandel Blush made in a smooth, medium-dry style, and the producer describes it as the Las Vegas of the wine world: an unapologetic show-stopper that answers a need for simplicity and diversion.
The style has real history behind the theatre. White Zinfandel was created by accident at Sutter Home in 1975 when a fermentation stopped early, and it became the most popular wine in America. It also saved California's old Zinfandel plantings, which growers had been pulling up for lack of demand, and many of those hundred-year-old vines survive today because of it.
Zinfandel is genetically identical to Primitivo in Puglia and Kratoshija in Croatia, all three descending from the Croatian variety Tribidrag, a connection established by DNA analysis only in the early 2000s.
