De Long Wine Moment » Blog Archive » Variety or Varietal? (#)

„Pinot Noir is a grape variety, as is Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, etc. A wine that is made from a single grape variety is called a varietal wine (most wine regions require at least 85% of a single grape variety to be called a varietal but this can vary with local regulations). Then why didn™t you call it a Wine Grape Variety Table? In this case the confusing reality is that varietal is the adjective that modifies the noun table.“

Vines & Wines » Blog Archive » Yeast produce varietal character? (#)

„It is the winemaking which reveals the aroma hidden in the fruit. The wine tastes more of fruits than the grape does.? This quote from Peynaud was used in a research article in the current edition of AJEV (57:1; 2006) that investigated the impact of yeast on varietal flavor of Sauvignon blanc. It is publications such as these that at the same time allow me to get my scientific fix (which more and more I realize I need) AND help me understand why we marvel over wine ...“

Grenache (#)

„Grenache used to be more popular in Australia, but has now been surpassed by Syrah, although a few Barossa Valley producers are making wines with Grenache similar to Chateauneuf-du-Pape. In California, it's a workhorse-blending grape, although occasionally old vines are found and its grapes are made into a varietal wine, which at its best can be quite good. It may make a comeback as enthusiasts of Rhone style wines seek cooler areas and an excellent blending grape.“

Barbera (#)

„Nevertheless, plantings have declined sharply in the United States. A few California wineries still produce it as a varietal, but those numbers too are dwindling. Its main attribute as a blending wine is its ability to maintain a naturally high acidity even in hot climates. This varietal has more potential than is currently being realized and may stage a modest comeback as Italian-style wines gain popularity“

Wine Blog » Blog Archive » Zinfandel as the state Grape? No thanks! (#)

„We must ask ourselves, “What would better serve all of California’s billion winegrowing industry?” To serve one varietal, or to continue the course we were on by continuing the efforts of the Wine Institute, individual county winegrowing associations, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and that is to promote all California varietals grown to every country in the world.“

Auburn City Limits Blog: Wine Matches For Grilled Fare (#)

„Zinfandel-will be able to handle a wide variety of red meats. This bold red wine bellies up to meaty, smokey flavors allowing the varietal's black pepper spice, acidity and ripe tannin's to carry the meats fats and texture to a new dimension. a Zin will also work well with barbecue sauce, steak sauce and mild salsa- if there is too much spice in the sauce the two will compete and the wine and the sauce will both end up losers.“

Vivi's Wine Journal: A Wine Tool For Massive Tools (#)

„Just like its scientific predecessor, the Wine Grape Varietal Table organizes its subject rationally, placing similar "elements" nearby each other on the table, ranked with other chemicals, er, wine grapes of similar body, acid and color, from Grenache/Garnacha way down in the dark-purple, low-acid, super-heavyweight corner to Savatiano up in the pale-greenish-gold, "flyweight" upper right ...“

Rare varietal wines (#)

„The grapes for rare varietal wines find their way into Australia by design or accident, but if they are to survive they need someone with passion and perseverance to exploit their potential in their new home. The growers sometimes have family connections to the place of origin of variety, but in other cases climate matching may suggest an alternative variety in a new area.“

„All of these wines were great -- representing the deeper and fuller end of the Grenache [Blanc] spectrum (and thus, more appealing to me than the lighter variations of the varietal). The Hard Core was the standout for me, where the little bit of cab really added a significant amount of power to the blend. Jane liked the Elevation Sensation best (that was my second favorite).“

„The Ledson was a fine wine, a little heavy on the alcohol (as usual with Ledson); but this is expected with a Zinfandel so it wasn’t as shocking as it can be with other varietals. The flavor was lush and full with distinct hints of strawberries.“
