White Wine

White wine is made from white or light-coloured grape varieties. Unlike red wine, the juice from white grapes is not in contact with the grape skins during fermentation, which is why white wine is typically a pale yellow or straw colour. Some of the most common types of white wine include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio. The flavours of white wine can range from fruity and floral to mineral and tangy, depending on the grape variety and winemaking methods used. White wine is typically chilled before serving and is often paired with lighter foods such as fish, chicken, and salads.

White wines can also be oaked or unoaked, oaked white wines have been aged in oak barrels which gives the wine a creamy, buttery, vanilla notes. Whereas unoaked white wines are aged in stainless steel tanks which gives the wine a crisp and fresh taste. Some white wines are also fermented or aged in contact with their own lees (dead yeast cells) which gives the wine a fuller body and more complex aromas.

Different regions also have their signature white wines, for instance, white wine from Burgundy region of France is known for its Chardonnay grape variety which gives the wine a rich, complex, and buttery notes, whereas white wine from Alsace region of France is known for its Riesling grape variety which gives the wine a floral, mineral, and tangy notes.

White wine can be made using a variety of techniques and methods, each of which can affect the final taste and quality of the wine. For example, some winemakers use "skin contact" techniques to extract more flavour and color from the grapes. This is done by leaving the juice in contact with the grape skins for a short period of time before fermenting. This can add more body and texture to the wine, as well as a subtle colour change. On the other hand, some winemakers use "sur lie" aging to give the wine a creamier texture and more complex aromas. Sur lie aging refers to the practice of leaving the wine on its lees (dead yeast cells) for an extended period of time, which can add complexity and depth to the wine's aroma and flavor.

The alcohol content of white wine can vary, but it is typically around 11-14% alcohol by volume (ABV). Some white wines, particularly those from warmer regions or those made using certain techniques, can have a higher alcohol content. For example, some Chardonnay wines produced in Napa Valley, California can reach up to 15% alcohol by volume.

The flavour and aroma of white wine can be influenced by many factors, including the grape variety, the terroir (soil, climate, and topography) of the vineyard, and the winemaking techniques used. For example, a Chardonnay from a cool climate region will have a high acidity and crisp flavours, while a Chardonnay from a warm climate region will have a higher alcohol content, a more full-bodied texture, and a more tropical fruit profile.

Some white wines are best consumed young and fresh, while others are meant to be aged for several years. For example, Sauvignon Blanc is typically consumed young, while a white Burgundy made from Chardonnay grapes can be aged for several years.

Some white wines are meant to be enjoyed as aperitif, while others are meant to be enjoyed with food. Aperitif wines are typically light-bodied, crisp, and dry and are consumed before a meal to stimulate the appetite, while food-friendly wines are typically more full-bodied, complex and can complement or contrast the flavors of the food.

White wine can also be sparkling, such as Champagne and Prosecco, which are made using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle. Sparkling wines are typically made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes and can vary in sweetness, dryness, and effervescence.
