Sommelier's Tips 

1. Serve at the Right Temperature: Chill it in the fridge for about 2-3 hours or in an ice bucket for 20-30 minutes. Ideal serving temperatures are typically between 45-55°F (7-13°C).
2. Use Proper Glassware: Choose a glass with a narrower bowl to concentrate the aromas. A standard wine glass works well.
3. Observe the Color: Hold the glass against a white background to appreciate the wine's color and clarity, which can indicate its age and quality.
4. Swirl and Sniff: Gently swirl the wine to release its aromas, then take a moment to inhale deeply. Identify the different scents, such as fruits, flowers, or herbs.
5. Taste Mindfully: Take a small sip and let it roll over your palate. Pay attention to the flavors, acidity, and finish. Notice how the taste evolves.
6. Pair with Food: It pairs well with various foods. Light-bodied wines complement seafood and salads, while fuller-bodied wines go well with richer dishes like creamy pasta.
7. Experiment with Varieties: Explore different grape varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Riesling to discover your preferences.
8. Enjoy with Friends: Share the experience with friends during a tasting or meal to enhance enjoyment and discover new favorites together.
9. Store Properly: If you have leftovers, cork the bottle and refrigerate it. Enjoy within a few days for the best flavor.

What is White Wine?

A type of wine made from the fermentation of grape juice without the skins, resulting in a light-colored beverage. Typically produced from green or yellow grapes, it can also be made from red grapes by pressing them quickly to separate the juice from the skins.

Its color ranges from pale yellow to golden hues, depending on the grape variety and aging process. They exhibit a wide array of flavors, including citrus, apple, pear, and floral notes, and are generally higher in acidity than red wines, contributing to their refreshing quality and making them excellent for food pairings.

Fun Facts About White Wine

• Color Variation: The colour can vary widely from pale straw to deep gold, influenced by grape variety, winemaking techniques, and aging processes.
• Oaked vs. Unoaked: The use of oak barrels during aging can impart flavors like vanilla, butter, and spice to white wine. Unoaked varieties tend to emphasise the fruit and acidity.
