Key Wine Styles
White wines are best understood as a spectrum. Grape variety, climate and winemaking determine whether a wine feels lean and mineral, aromatic and floral, soft and fruit-driven, or rich and textured.
Fresh & Aromatic
Expressive whites with citrus, herbs, flowers and bright fruit, usually made to preserve freshness.
Examples
Sauvignon Blanc, Temjanika, Muscat
Soft & Fruit-Driven
Easy-drinking whites centred on pear, apple, peach and melon with gentle texture and moderate acidity.
Examples
Pinot Grigio, unoaked Chardonnay
Rich & Textured
Fuller whites with broader mouthfeel, ripe fruit and often lees or oak influence.
Examples
Oaked Chardonnay, Viognier
Floral & Perfumed
Highly aromatic whites with blossom, rose, jasmine and stone-fruit character.
Examples
Muscat, Viognier, Gewürztraminer

What Defines White Wine
