White wine with style - The different white wine styles

Fresh and sparkling white wines

Light and fresh white wines can be found almost all over the world. However, the light-hearted drops are particularly successful in northern regions of the world, as the balanced climate is perfect for mineral-rich and crisp white wines. Often, the light-hearted wines are vinified single-vineyard, matured in stainless steel tanks and are generally considered regional specialties. Characteristic for fresh and sparkling white wines, is the dewy fruit aroma and the well-formed acidity.

Fruity and intense white wines

You can smell the next style of wine right from the start. The fruity white wines made from aromatic and classic grape varieties, for example Traminer, Muscat, Scheurebe, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, are intensely fragrant and multi-faceted white wines that are easy to drink and complex to experience. The bouquet of diverse aromas seems almost perfumed and excel the balanced drinking pleasure from the first to the last sip.

Rich and powerful

Alcoholic, intense and full-bodied. These are the full-bodied white wines that are usually aged in wooden barrels.

With a little patience during storage and opening, these rich and powerful white wines develop into a well-rounded and enduringly compelling experience.
