Wine Styles

Different Grapes and Production Methods create different wine Styles:

White Wines

White wines are made from white grapes (light-colored white grape varieties).

A few white wines are made from black grapes. The secret is to remove the skins immediately.

White wines get their flavors from the grape juice.

Grapes are pressed quickly to drain the juice away from the skins.

The alcohol content of a white wine is between 10% and 14%.

Chardonnay is the most planted white wine grape in the world. It was born in France, but is now grown wherever wine is produced.

Typical flavors are Citrus, Green Fruit, Peach, Bread and Butter.
