Region
The state of California is by far the most important producer of wine in the USA. Its grape growers succeed in many differing environments up and down the state from the fog influenced coastal valleys of Sonoma, Napa and Carneros, to the hot irrigated Central Valley and Monterey, Santa Barbera and Edna Valley on the Pacific coast and to Themecula on the Mexican boarder.

Producer
Sun Gate is the product of expert negociants who have selected, vinified and blended to create a consistent rose wine in perfect conditions. Zinfandel grapes, ideally suited to the Californian climate, are selected from across the vineyards of California’s Central Valley and are carefully vinified for a short time before removing the grape skins. Although Zinfandel is a red grape variety, the rose version is confusingly named White Zinfandel. Its success of White Zinfandel has been one of the wine phenomena of recent times.
