Famous White Wine

What is the white wine?

Most white wines coming apparently from white grapes. Wine gets its color from the skins soaking in the juice. But there are exceptions to this.


It can be done from the black grapes to be very careful to extract the juice and keep the skins separately.

Apart from color, which if not suck the skin to juice reduce the amount of tannin in the wine. The tannin causes a feeling of dryness in the mouth, which makes the wine down sensor.

The most famous white wine

Rather than keep you in suspense, will reveal now what you have already guessed. The most famous is certainly champagne.

It is interesting that this most famous wine is made from a blend of black grapes, including Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

Now that we have identified the most famous white wine, let's see the other major white grape varieties.

Chardonnay


This is the most popular white variety of the world. Usually it is the butter-like flavor and is most often eg Age.

Chenin Blanc

Very interesting too acidic wine is the most common in the Loire Valley in France. It can be either too dry or too sweet or most anything in between.

Gewurztraminer

This is a very aromatic wine, usually with floral aromas and spices.

Muscat

This is really the only wine that actually smells like grapes. It offers a wide range of styles, although often used in sparkling wines.

Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio

The wine has a wide variety of styles ranging from dry to sweet spicy. Also, you often have a touch of honey.

Riesling

Another wine that can be either too dry or too sweet. It is a low alcohol wine with acidity.

Sauvignon Blanc

This wine has really become very popular, especially when it comes from New Zealand. It should be drunk young. It is very spicy and sharp.

Other varieties

Cabernet Franc is usually used in mixtures. Soave Garganega is used in Italy. Müller Thurgau, which is really quite a boring wine. Pinot Blanc is low in sugar and high acid, which makes a dry, delicate wine. Torrontés which is a highly aromatic wine from Argentina. Trebbiano is a very mild and neutral wine. Verdelho is a rich white wine, which I like very much and have a taste of lime. Viognier is a strange wine is dry if it really works nicely. It has aromas of flowers and often a little apricot flavor.

Rose is a white wine?


Rose is also known as blush and is considered a white wine. Produced by allowing the suction of skin only a very short time. The best roses are made from Grenache grapes.

Unfortunately Rose has gotten a very bad reputation because of cheap and poor taste that they can be found on the market. However, a delicate pink with a lovely wine.
