Wine Varietals and Appellations

A General Reference

wine grapes for fine wine

Chardonnay

8/33

 Chardonnay can taste  different, depending on where it grows and how it's made. But  typically, Chardonnay is a dry, medium- to full-bodied wine with  moderate acidity and alcohol. Its flavors range from apple and lemon to papaya and pineapple, and it also shows notes of vanilla when it's aged with oak

Chenin Blanc

9/38

 Chenin blanc is a white wine grape variety from the Loire Valley  of France. Its high acidity means it can be used to make varieties from  sparkling wines to well-balanced dessert wines, although it can produce  very bland, neutral wines if the vine's natural vigor is not controlled. 

Red Wine Grapes

Gewürztraminer

9/38

 Gewürztraminer is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white  wines, and performs best in cooler climates. In English, it is sometimes  referred to colloquially as Gewürz, and in English and French it is  written Gewurztraminer. 

Wine grapes

Pinot Grigio

8/33

  Riper Pinot Grigio wines will often lean towards the side of tropical  and tree fruit flavors, while less mature grapes will have more  prominent hints of citrus fruit. Pinot Grigio is almost always made to  be a dry white wine with either a light or medium body. Regardless of  their weight, the best versions are crisp, refreshing, and well-balanced  overall with moderate acidity and complex fruit flavors. 

Fine wine grapes

Riesling

9/38

Riesling is a white grape variety that originated in the Rhine  region. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost  perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry,  semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines. Riesling wines are usually  varietally pure and are seldom oaked. 

Chardonnay

Sauvignon Blanc

9/38

 Depending on the climate,  the flavor can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical. In  cooler climates, the grape has a tendency to produce wines with  noticeable acidity and "green flavors" of grass, green bell peppers and nettles with some tropical fruit and floral  notes. In warmer climates, it can develop more tropical fruit notes.

Pinot Noir

Cabernet Franc

 Cabernet franc is a classic medium-bodied red with moderate tannins.  The flavor of cabernet franc wines are defined by a balance between red  fruits, herbs, and peppery earthiness. Cabernet franc has  medium-to-high acidity that makes it refreshingly easy-to-drink. 

Merlot

Cabernet Sauvignon

 The typical nose will show aromas of black fruit, violet and green bell pepper. Finer wines with a bit of age will develop notes of cedar wood, coffee, cedar and eucalyptus. 

Cabernet Sauvignon

Malbec

8/32

 Malbec is a purple grape variety used in making red wine. The  grapes tend to have an inky dark color and robust tannins, and are known  as one of the six grapes allowed in the blend of red Bordeaux wine.  Merlot‘s soft texture helps to give it a deliciously  plummy, almost fruitcake-like flavour and a mellow smoothness. Like cabernet, it can be a little grassy and bell-pepper-like  from cool climate regions and it develops blackcurrant, blackberry,  blueberry, chocolate and spice-like characte

Malbec

Merlot

8/32

 Merlot‘s soft texture helps to give it a deliciously  plummy, almost fruitcake-like flavour and a mellow smoothness. Like cabernet, it can be a little grassy and bell-pepper-like  from cool climate regions and it develops blackcurrant, blackberry,  blueberry, chocolate and spice-like characters when fully ripe. 

Pinot Noir

8/32

Pinot Noir is a red-wine grape variety of the species Vitis  vinifera. The name may also refer to wines created predominantly from  pinot noir grapes. The name is derived from the French words for pine  and black. The word pine alludes to the grape variety having tightly  clustered, pinecone–shaped bunches of fruit. 

Sangiovese

 Sangiovese is savory.  Because of its ability to be a chameleon,  Sangiovese wines offer a wide range of tastes from very earthy and  rustic–as is the case with many Chianti Classico– to round and  fruit-forward.  Regardless of where it’s grown, it always exhibits  cherry flavors with more subtle notes of tomato.
