Ernest and Julio Gallo is the brand under which the Gallo Family Vineyards sell their wine commercially. This wine is produced with the Zinfandel grape and in particular a variety known as White Zinfandel. The Zinfandel grape is predominantly grown in California and accounts for 10% of all the grapes grown in the state. White zinfandel outsells other Zinfandel wines by over six times.

The wine is sold in a 75 centilitre bottle and costs around just £5. The wine is largely considered as ready to drink and is not intended for storage. It is a light fruity wine that combines sweet raspberry flavour with more subtle notes of watermelon. The wine has relatively low alcoholic content of just 9.5% vol. This makes it an excellent choice for those who do not usually drink wine or want something refreshing and low in alcohol.

This wine is an ideal accompaniment to many summer dishes or delicate meat starters. This is definitely a good choice for those summer day picnics and barbeques when served chilled.

Summary: Sweet and refreshing taste
