CA - Why White

AROMATICS Popular varieties include Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Muscat (Moscato), Torrontés, and Viognier. Aromatic white wines are known for their intensely fragrant and expressive aromas. These wines often feature a bouquet of floral, fruity, and spicy notes that are immediately noticeable upon opening the bottle. Common aromas include jasmine, orange blossom, rose petals, honeysuckle, tropical fruits like lychee, pineapple, and mango, as well as stone fruits like peach and apricot. These wines can range from dry to sweet and usually have a medium to full body, with moderate to high acidity, contributing to their vibrant and lively character. Best served slightly chilled, these wines pair wonderfully with spicy Asian cuisine, aromatic dishes with herbs and spices, fruit-based desserts, and strong cheeses. Aromatic whites are perfect for those who enjoy a rich, sensory experience in their wine, offering a captivating and complex palate that is both flavorful and fragrant.
