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.
