Choose wine flavour

A wine maker has all the say in how he wants his wine to end up like. This he does by changing some factors here and there. The tannin content in wines would define if the wine is light-bodied, medium or heavy bodied. Usually categorised as full bodied wine, the top Red wines include - Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Chianti, Barolo, Barberesco, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Malbec, Grenache, and Bordeaux. Cherry, plum, black berry and currant are common flavour descriptors for red wine. The method, if to describe, would require a whole new internet database, so we better leave it with the wine maker.

White wine is generally a sparkling yellow or light golden in colour. The most famous white wine is the American Chardonnay, which is made from the chardonnay grape of France, but is grown in California as well. When served along with grilled Barbeque, it changes the approach dramatically. Although, red wine is the dominant wine, white wine is infectious up with it. Today more and more varieties of grapes besides chardonnay are coming up. Sauvignon Blanc is pungent and tingles you with aromas that range between grassy, peppery and fruity (citrus, gooseberry). This grape in New Zealand can take a variety of forms making it one of the most desired. People who are inclined only towards red wine are restricting themselves to lesser variety and change.

Wine

There are many kinds of wine. The types depend on predominantly the type of grapes used. Besides the type of grape, the geography, the soil type and the local yeast culture also defines the taster of the wine. All of these ageing are considered the most important as time totally changes the essence of it. Wines are named after the place in most Europe. The most famous among them are the Bordeaux and Chianti. Non European wines are named after the variety of grapes. like the Merlot.

Wine tasting is a full fledged career today. There are five basic steps in tasting wine: colour, swirl, smell, taste, and savour. Tasting of wine is an art. Wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. In India too, it is bound to catch up with the rising demand for quality wine tasters.

Today’s urban elite are much influenced by the nature of use of wine in western cultures. It is only a matter of time, when India grows out of its fold to embrace the sweet intoxication of wine. With consumption expected to triple in next few years, it is an exciting market to venture into. Already few of our vineyards have started extensive research on the possibility of wine consumption outside metropolitan India and its export.

Red Wine

The red wine tends to be more strong and even more intricate than the white ones; the white wines are usually lighter. Though the grapes play their part in a big way, however, it is the fermentation process that brings about the precise reason of red being so and vice versa. Red and black grapes are used in the manufacturing of red wines, while green grapes are fermented for the white. The fermentation process for white wine observes the gentle removal of the stems, seeds and grape skin from the squeezed juice. Conversely, the fermentation process for red wines does not involve any removals, whatever. The Red and black grape squeezed juice contains it all. The leaving of the stems, seeds and grape skin generates tannins and pigments, accountable for the density of red wines. Red and black grapes are used in the manufacturing of red or white wine and other flavour of wine.

Depending on the brand and flavour you pick, you can make a fantastic addition to your scrumptious meal through the red and white wine. Red wines are extremely preferred with the strong flavored meals, being more complex and robust in taste. On the same lines, the white wines get selected normally with rather bland food. Whether red or white, your meal thus offers you an easier view to make up your mind for the wine to be picked up in harmony.
