MEET THE BIG SIX 🍇
If wine had a starting lineup ... these six grapes would definitely make the cut
Chardonnay — from crisp & mineral to rich, buttery & oaked she’s got range
Sauvignon Blanc — fresh, zippy & aromatic with citrus, herbs & that unmistakable acidity
Riesling — floral, bright & seriously misunderstood ... from bone-dry to beautifully sweet, acidity is her superpower Cabernet Sauvignon — bold, structured & built to age think dark fruit, cassis, cedar & tannin
Merlot — softer, rounder & oh-so-smooth, with plush plum & dark berry flavours
Pinot Noir — delicate, complex & notoriously fussy to grow ... but when it’s good, it’s really good
Learn these six & you’ve got a pretty fabulous foundation for understanding the world of wine 🍷
