If Spring was a grape variety, it would be Sauvignon Blanc thanks to its herbaceous aromas, citrusy flavours and refreshing finish. In fact, May 3rd is international Sauvignon Blanc day!
Despite being the second most planted grape in the world (and the most planted in Bordeaux), Merlot is often overlooked and seen simply as a grape for blending. However, Merlot is not to be underestimated: with its versatility and signature velvety texture, the grape variety can produce smooth yet deliciously complex wines.
Everyone’s heard of Chardonnay! A true example of versatility when it comes to grape varieties, wines produced from Chardonnay grapes are a clear reflection of where the grapes were grown and how the wine was made.
