White wine facts
What is white wine?
White wine is made from fermenting yellow or green grapes. It dates back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt. Traces of it were even found in Tutankhamun’s tomb. Fruit flavors in white wine include citrus (think lemon, grapefruit and lime), stone fruits (peach and apricot) and tropical (pineapple and mango). Some white wines have floral, herbaceous, mineral, spice and other savory notes too. Popular white wine varieties include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling.
What’s the difference between red and white wine?
The most striking difference between red wine and white wine is, of course, the color. Red wines can be anything from ruby red to purple or even brown in the glass. They’re made from red or black grapes and get their color via fermentation with the grape skins and seeds. White wine comes from yellow or green grapes and aren’t fermented with their skins. The winemaking process for each differs too: red wines tend to age in oak barrels which allow more oxygen into the wine. That dulls fruit or floral flavors but develops nuttier, richer ones and creates a smoother texture. White wines typically age in stainless steel vats to limit oxidation and hold on to fruity freshness.
What white wine is right for me?
There are hundreds of white wines of varying flavor and intensity out there, so there’s something to suit pretty much every palate. If you don’t have a go-to grape variety, narrow down by style. Crisp whites like Sauvignon Blanc tend to be lighter and fresher, fruity whites like Chenin Blancs are more vibrant, and rich whites feel fuller in the mouth and can be oaky or buttery like some Chardonnays. Not forgetting sweet white wines like Moscato — think tropical or candied fruits.
How should I serve white wine?
Typically lighter whites like Rieslings are at their best chilled at somewhere between 44- 50 ̊ F. An oakier, richer white like Chardonnay can be just lightly chilled and more like 50 – 55 ̊ F. Ultimately though, it’s up to you and your tastes.
What’s the best food pairing for white wine?
White wine pairs with everything from fresh salads to seafood to spicy dishes. Try Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese, Riesling with Indian food and Chardonnay with roast chicken. A rule of thumb is to find a wine that matches the flavor intensity of your dish so neither overpowers the other.
