Many countries are also known for
particular white grape varieties that they excel with. France has numerous in
specific regions. Chardonnay shines in Burgundy with very elegant versions
sporting lots of finesse. Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley is the ultimate
incarnation of this grape. Gewurztraminer in Alsace is rich and aromatic and
the best this varietal can be. Canada, especially the Niagara region in
Ontario, does a phenomenal job with Riesling. The Marlborough region of New
Zealand’s south island produces a rich, tropical fruity version of Sauvignon
Blanc that is to die for and the north of Italy shines with crisp, fresh,
models of Pinot Grigio. Gotta try some of these varietal wines that make these
countries/regions famous.
