The Carnival Zinfandel

A recent addition to our range, this is a Californian Zinfandel with a fair bit of character. In the glass it's a gorgeous bright almost bubblegum pink colour, showing off absolutely bags of raspberries on the nose. Evidently a fruity number from the first whiff, it's also got a generous dash of sweet spice in there, and some other red fruits (particularly juicy tart red cherries). A light red in style, this is ideal hot summer weather wine, absolutely spot on for lazing out in the garden with a glass or three and a good book. I don't know about the rest of you, but the last thing I'm after on a hot humid afternoon is a heavy rich red, even if it is my generally preferred style of wine. Although most people will stick to whites and roses, or crisp refreshing beers and ciders, this is a fab alternative for those of you who are really after something with a bit more body that's not too big.
