White Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
White wine encompasses a vast spectrum of styles drawn from grapes grown across nearly every major wine-producing region on earth, from cool-climate Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc to sun-drenched California Chardonnay. Fermentation typically occurs without extended skin contact, preserving aromatic freshness and allowing terroir to express itself directly through the grape variety. Sauvignon Blanc drives the bright, mineral-edged Sancerres of Sylvain Bailly and Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy, while Gruber Roschitz channels the peppery, textural character of Austrian Gruner Veltliner. Chardonnay spans perhaps the widest stylistic range, from the restrained, oyster-shell precision of Domaine Herve Azo Chablis to the richly layered, barrel-influenced expressions of Kistler Les Noisetiers and Flowers Sonoma Coast.
