White wines actually cover a wide range of different tastes and colors. From clear white colors to golden yellows, dry, sweet or semi-sweet, they are the wines that are defined by their light color, body, and complex taste.

Chardonnay

Chenin Blanc

Gewurztraminer

Pinot Gris

Riesling

Sauvignon Blanc

Sémillon

Viognier


When to Drink?

White wines are often consumed with lighter meals, think lunch, smaller dinners, appetizers or as an apéritif themselves. They are more refreshing, lighter in both style and taste than the majority of their red wine counterparts, making them ideal for spring and summer occasions.

Choosing Glass for White Wine

White wines beg a different glass style altogether from red wines. They prefer and are best presented in narrower glasses, as the sharper taper at the top of the glass allows for better aroma concentration of more delicate white wines. Optimum white wine serving temperatures are between 45-50 °F.
