White wines are often considered more refreshing and lighter in both style and taste than the majority of their red wine counterparts. White wines are often used as an apéritif before a meal, with dessert, or as a refreshing drink between meals. Sparkling wines, which are mostly white, are wines where the carbon dioxide from the fermentation is kept dissolved in the wine and becomes gas when the bottle is opened. The methods of enriching wort with sugar are multiple: on-ripening on the vine, passerillage (straining), or the use of noble rot. Sweet wines, on the other hand, are produced by interrupting the fermentation before all the grape sugars are converted into alcohol this is called Mutage or fortification. More or less aromatic and tangy, it is derived from the complete fermentation of the wort. Pinot noir, for example, is commonly used to produce champagne.Īmong the many types of white wine, dry white wine is the most common. Some white wine is also made from grapes with coloured skin, provided that the obtained wort is not stained. White wine is mainly from "white" grapes, which are green or yellow in colour, such as the Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc and Riesling. The wide variety of white wines comes from the large number of varieties, methods of winemaking, and ratios of residual sugar. White wine has existed for at least 4,000 years.
#Dry white wine skin#
It is produced by the alcoholic fermentation of the non-coloured pulp of grapes, which may have a skin of any colour. The colour can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, or yellow-gold. White wine is a wine that is fermented without skin contact. Torrontés wine tasting in Cafayate, Argentina
