Pinot Gris | Pinot gris (or pinot grigio, as it is known in Italy) probably is the best-known "white" variant-clone of Pinot Noir. Ripe pinot gris grapes may be described as having colors from bluish grey to light pinkish brown. Clusters with a variety of colors are not unusual. |
 |
Sauvignon Blanc | The Sauvignon Blanc grape produces wines of distinction in most of the areas where it is grown. It can tolerate greater heat than many varieties. Sauvignon Blancs are higher in acid and often exhibit 'melon' in the nose and tastes. |
 |
Semillon | Semillon
ripens earlier in the season than most grapes and is less
likely to be damaged by rains or frost. It produces
wines that are full flavored rich and aromatic.
Semillon is most often blended with other varieties (especially
Sauvignon Blanc) to take advantage of the strengths of
each variety. Semillon is one of the three approved
varieties (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle) for
making white wines in the Bordeaux region of France. |
 |
Chardonnay | The Chardonnay grape variety is a classic white wine grape grown all around the world. The original fame of Chardonnay comes from it's success in the Burgundy and Champagne regions of France. White Burgundy must be made from the Chardonnay grape unless the label indicates it was made from a much less well known grape, Aligoté. |
 |
Gewürztraminer | Gewürztraminer is one of the most pungent wine varietals, easy for even the beginning taster to recognize by its heady, aromatic scent. While the French have achieved the greatest success with this grape and its name may be German, the history of Gewürztraminer began in Italy's Tyrollean Alps, near the village of Termeno (Tramin) in Alto Adige. |
