Madeline takes us through the 6 popular types of white wine and gives us tips on how to find each style and what foods pair well with them. Learn wine at Wine Folly → wfol.ly/newsletter
From Pinot Grigio to Gewürztraminer, and even orange wines, there is something for everyone in the diverse world of white wine.
00:36 - Types of White Wine
00:50 - Pinot Grigio (aka Pinot Gris!)
02:14 - Sauvignon Blanc
03:46 - dry Riesling
05:08 - Gewürztraminer
06:18 - Chardonnay
08:04 - Orange Wine
More about the wines:
1. Pinot Grigio - Also known as Pinot Gris, it’s the prototypical crisp dry white wine, but there’s more to this grape than meets the eye.
2. Sauvignon Blanc - Famed for its green aromatics of cut grass, gooseberry and even bell pepper, you’ll find Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with southeast Asian cuisine.
3. Riesling - A great choice to match with Indian cuisine and Spicy Thai, Riesling exudes rich peach and apricot aromatics and ranges from bone dry to very sweet.
4. Gewürztraminer - The most floral popular white wine with aromas of roses and potpourri. Surprisingly, many of these wines are bone dry!
5. Chardonnay - The fullest body of the white wines, not because of the grape but because of the winemaking method. Aging in oak adds richness to these wines.
6. Orange wine - a newly popular but ancient white winemaking method that allows white grapes to ferment like red wines. These wines have rich color and flavor from the skins.

I just tried pinot grigio and I really like it! Nice and fruity. Kind of like a moscato but drier.

Excellent introduction into white varietals for a wine tasting party. My personal experiences have shown novices who started by searching out wines rated outstanding (90+) by professional sommeliers are more likely to become more interested in the nuances of wine. It’s natural for beginners to initially prefer sweeter wines only to find their tastes later change to dry.

It‘s funny how even today the myth of Riesling as sweet wine is almost everywhere uphold; there are sweet Rieslings (and some of the most expensive wines in the world are) but the majority of Riesling in Germany are dry, and almost every Riesling from Elsace or New Zealand or the US are dry as well. …btw - the enthusiasm when you describe wines is awsome!

I've had Riesling from MacGregor Vineyards on Keuka Lake that was crushed and macerated on the skins for a couple of days, then pressed & fermented in stainless steel. It had a mild tannic grip and good, typical flavor profile. Interesting, it could have used a couple more years of bottle age. Thanks!

Do you have a video like this for red wines? Very much liked that you included similar wines grouped together. I'm also curious about wines that are typically dry vs wines that are typically sweet and those that typically fall in-between.

Very well-organized! At first, I thought that my white wine tastes were favoring roughly Yin (unoaked, aromatic, food-friendly) versus the Yang (oaked, malolactic, and neutral-flavored). However, according to your categorization, I enjoy 5 of 6 big groups of white wines!

The card is for hue not necessarily saturation

@bp7707 Жыл бұрын

I've noticed an increase in Pinot Gris with longer skin contact locally (Aus/NZ producers) giving the wine a pink hue. Would these wines therefore have higher tannin?

@Winefolly Жыл бұрын

not necessarily. It's possible to get the color and not have the bitterness.

@Ta73PT 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for this interesting review. However, Rkatsiteli origin is from Georgia, one of the first oldest wine-producing countries in the world. While other types are mentioned with the country-specificity, Rkatsiteli also deserves to be known as such. Eastern Europe is not a country. Cheers 🥂

Interesting that your own website has Trebbiano (Internationally), Muscat and Viognier (USA) as more popular than Gewürztraminer or Orange wine?!

@Winefolly Жыл бұрын

It all depends on how you look at “popular”. in terms of plantings, trebbiano is very popular because it’s also the primary grape used for Balsamic vinegar! I chose these wines based on their stylistic differences and popularity (reach, acres) within those styles. Hope that helps explain the differing info

I have a question if you can help me please. I find that Pinot Grigio is on the lower end of the price spectrum, is there such thing as a expensive white wine?

@Winefolly 5 ай бұрын

Yes, there is such a thing as expensive white wine! Pinot Grigio does tend to fall on the lower price spectrum - but not for lack of quality - you can find several producers in the Friuli and Alto Adige region in Italy producing top notch P.G. for around $40 (which is still a crazy value for what they are!) Other varieties have a higher perceived value and charge even more. Riesling from the Mosel in Germany, high end Chardonnay from Burgundy go for hundreds of dollars a bottle.

is old chardonnay considered buttery?

@Winefolly Жыл бұрын

Old wines develop more nuttiness through oxygen exposure. It's not the same winemaking process (malolatic fermentation). Of course, I can imagine you could describe an old white wine as buttery, but we're talking about a wine that would be 10 years old. Again, different process, and probably more 'nutty' vs. 'buttery'

@petertenay1785 11 ай бұрын

Is the pinot gris bitter? I hate bitter wine

@Winefolly 11 ай бұрын

depends on where it's from, but for the most part, it isn't. Bitterness in white wines comes from phenolics from the skins, so usually there's some kind of skin contact involved. Italian white wines when they're not sweet have traditionally had more phenolics. Personally, I'm a huge fan, but I get if you're not!

You always forget about Spanish wines and grapes. in your videos. Can you tell me why? . Albariño, Godello, Palomino, Macabeo, Verdejo, Airen, Pedro Ximenez, Parellada, Xarelo, Garnacha, etc, etc. Some of the best wines in the world are made with these grapes. You should have a broader and more impartial opinion in your comments.Thanks anyway. You make an excellent job, but also Spain exist.

@@Winefolly I'm sorry. I meant to say that you don't usually talk about Spanish wines and grapes with the value they really have in history and world map of wines. But I insist, I admire your work and learn a lot with you videos, I have bought your book and I am a follower. Hugs from Granada, Spain.

@joelaroche7667 Жыл бұрын

Since you are targeting new wine drinkers, you do a great disservice in talking about a basic grape and then switching the variety to a relatively unknown wine which can totally confuse the newbie! Please stick to the central thought of the video! On the other hand, a very interesting video for more advanced drinkers!

@idontexist2868 5 ай бұрын

Well, Riesling-like is not Riesling. Taste and tell us something about the actual type you are mentioning. Do not mix up things without reason, specially if you deal with an audience who may not know anything about wine.

oh my apologies! Of course! A common grape might be totally unfamiliar to all. Sorry if I didn't run through the tasting notes on that one -
