 [Kristens Blog] Semillon Grapes, The Unsung Hero In Wine: Early in the development of Australia, Semillon (often incorrectly labeled as Riesling) dominated as the major white variety, although the vineyards are mostly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc today. The Hunter Valley in Australia, however, is still known for producing this grape in numbers and was one of the pioneers in the country in cultivating it.

 [Napa Valley Wine Radio] Q: What’s with all the different bottle shapes?: The Bordeaux region, in south-western France, adopted the high-shouldered bottle with straight sides for its wines.  They say that those almost-flat shoulders were meant to help catch the sediment when the wine is decanted.  Anyway, red Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and white Bordeaux-types, like Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, are usually packaged this way regardless of where they’re produced, and the whites will usually be in clear glass or light green bottles.   Authentic Sauternes, from the southern part of Bordeaux, is a late harvest of predominantly Semillon, and will also come in the clear Bordeaux bottle.  So will most new-world Sauternes styles, whatever they may be called.  The problem with the Bordeaux bottle is it’s often used as a catch-all and can represent lots of different styles of wine, from any part of the world, for instance it’s common to find Zinfandel in the Bordeaux bottle.  But - at least you know the intention.  Oh - and if that Sauvignon Blanc is from the Loire Valley (Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé), you’ll find it in the burgundy bottle (see below).
