导读:More grape varieties are waiting for you to know.

In the last article, we mentioned five grape varieties. Today, we continue to share other common grape varieties to you.

Chardonnay


Possibly the most well-known of the white grapes, Chardonnay's Burgundy homeland is often cited as the apogee of its expression. But the variety has traveled the world and examples, from the sublime to the uninspiring, can be found from across the globe.


At its most basic, Chardonnay produces wines of a light golden hue, with notes of citrus, green apple, blossom and almonds or oatmeal. On the palate, Chardonnay has moderate acidity and moderate alcohol with a medium body.

Keeva’s Select Chardonnay:Pears, pineapples, acacia flowers and delicate vanilla. Shredded green papaya and white nectarinesstrike the palate, rounded off with a delicate hint of citrus. Perfect with seafood and shellfish.


KOPU Gisborne Chardonnay:Pale yellow colour, a beautiful Chardonnay, presenting ripe nectarine and lemon on the nose, backed by subtle a touch of cream candy on the palate. It tastes better with fish and white meat.



Sauvignon Blanc


Sauvignon Blanc, pronounced “saw vee nyon blahnk” or “blahn” if trying to mimic the French, is one of the world’s most popular white wines. It’s made from green-skinned grapes that can grow in a range of climates to produce food-friendly wines at many price points.

Sauvignon can be crisp and grassy or juicy and tropical, yet always expresses trademark acidity. It’s refreshing, easy to identify, and there’s a style for everyone, which is why Sauvignon Blanc’s fan club keeps growing. Sauvignon Blanc has several synonyms including Sauvignon, Fumé Blanc (produced in the U.S.), Muskat-Silvaner (produced in Austria) and Feigentraube (produced in Germany).

Kopu Sauvignon Blanc : A clear pale yellow colour with fruit aromas of grapefruit, orange, passion fruit and sweet herbs. Ripe apricot, citrus and gooseberry flavors complete the palate, with rich fruit flavors that blend with the elegance of the cask. It tastes better with cheicken,  fish, vegetables, fried food and hot pot.

Riesling


Riesling is a magnificent grape but a difficult one. For its many devoted admirers, it is the foremost white wine grape in the world. Riesling is one of the most prestigious grapes, but it is still something of a niche variety. This is because it is a cool climate grape, limiting the number of countries it grows in. But it is perhaps even more because it is unpredictable; riesling is often a little bit sweet, or at least not completely dry, and it’s hard to know when. 


Riesling has very high acidity, higher than most other grapes. It is the acidity that makes riesling wines wonderfully fresh and delicious. But for the acidity to be balanced, many wine producers believe that some residual sugar is needed. Therefore, they stop the fermentation before all sugar has been transformed into alcohol. Sometimes, say some growers, the fermentation stops by itself before the yeast has consumed all the sugar. The sugar level can vary from one vintage to the next in a wine.

Berge Riesling Spatlese:Fine,ripe orange aromas with hints of lemon anbd peach come through on the nose. The palate is vibrant and complex with notes of ripe, sweet stone fruit extract.


Barbera


As the third most-planted red grape in Italy, Barbera is known for its deep color, full body and low tannin. It is traditionally grown in Northern Italy, along the low slopes and valleys of the region. If not regularly pruned, the vines can produce high amounts of grapes, making it a more affordable wine to both grow and drink. If you’re a fan of Nebbiolo or Chianti, Barbera is a classic Italian alternative to sample.


When young, most Barbera wines have a bright-red cherry character, distinguished from Nebbiolo (which often overshadows Barbera) by softer tannins and a certain roundness. When matured in barrel and allowed to age in bottle for a few years, this turns to a denser, sour-cherry note.

Barrel maturation can also add wood tannins where these might make up for the generally low tannins encountered naturally with the variety.
A warm, Merlot-like plumminess is also commonly detectable, although the variety is more closely related to Mourvèdre in terms of flavor profile than Merlot. When overheated, a Barbera vine will produce comparatively flat, dull wines with notes of baked prunes and raisins, while its trademark cherry flavors turn towards kirsch.

Marco Pontarelli Barbera:Bright red colour. Pleasant fruit and with aromas of red fruits. Full bodied and soft tannins,with tangy taste and lingering finish. It tastes better with spaghetti and lamb chop.

  

Carmenere


Carménère is a red wine grape that is believed to have come from the Médoc wine-growing region of Bordeaux in France. This grape varietal is thought to be one of the six original red grapes from this part of France. Ironically, it is now very difficult to find any wineries producing wines from this grape.


The Carménère characteristics are that it is a late-ripening grape, and when grown in a favorable climate, it will produce powerful, deep red wines with herby notes that are not unlike Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
