Frequently Asked Questions

White wine is a type of wine made mainly from white or green grapes. Unlike red wine, which is made by fermenting the juice with the grape skins (which give red wine its colour), white wine is made by fermenting the juice without the grape skins. This process gives white wines a lighter colour, ranging from pale straw to golden yellow.

White wines can vary greatly in flavour, aroma and style, depending on factors such as grape variety, winemaking techniques and ageing. Common white grape varieties used to make white wine include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris), Chenin Blanc and Viognier.

White wine is produced through a process called white winemaking, which involves several key steps:

Harvest:

White wine production begins with the harvest of white or green grapes. These grapes are usually picked earlier in the season than red grapes to preserve their natural acidity and freshness.

Crushing and pressing:

After harvesting, the grapes are gently crushed to release their juice. Unlike red wine, where the skins are included in the fermentation process, white wine grapes are immediately pressed to separate the juice from the skins, seeds and solids.
Fermentation:

The grape juice (now called "must") undergoes alcoholic fermentation, where yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This fermentation process usually takes place in stainless steel tanks or sometimes in oak barrels, depending on the winemaker's preferences and the desired style of wine.

Clarification and settling:

After fermentation, white wines undergo a process of clarification to remove suspended particles and solids. This can be achieved by settling, where the wine is allowed to rest and the solids settle to the bottom, or by fining and filtration methods.

Malolactic fermentation (optional):

Some white wines, particularly fuller-bodied varieties such as Chardonnay, may undergo malolactic fermentation (MLF). This secondary fermentation converts malic acid (sharp tasting) to lactic acid (softer tasting), adding texture and complexity to the wine.

Aging and maturation:

Depending on the style of wine and the winemaker's intentions, white wines may be aged and matured in stainless steel tanks, oak barrels (either new or used), or a combination of the two. Oak aging can impart flavours of vanilla, toast and spice to the wine.

Blending (optional):

In some cases, winemakers may blend different batches of white wine to achieve a desired flavour profile and balance. This blending process can take place before or after ageing, depending on the winemaking approach.

Bottling and packaging:

Once the white wine has been clarified, aged and possibly blended, it is ready for bottling. Winemakers may choose to filter the wine for clarity and stability before bottling, and the wine is sealed with a cork or alternative closure.

White wine production focuses on preserving the delicate flavours, aromas and natural acidity of the grapes, resulting in a range of styles from crisp and refreshing to rich and complex. White wines are enjoyed chilled and are versatile, pairing well with a variety of foods including seafood, poultry, salads, cheeses and light dishes.

White wine has a fascinating and extensive history stretching back thousands of years, evolving as viticulture and winemaking techniques have evolved. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome, where early winemakers cultivated white grape varieties and refined fermentation methods to produce the first iterations of white wine. In ancient Greece and Rome, white wine was of great cultural, social and even religious importance, often being the centrepiece of symposia, feasts and ceremonies.

During the Middle Ages, particularly in Europe, monasteries played a pivotal role in the preservation and advancement of winemaking knowledge. Monks meticulously tended vineyards, experimented with grape cultivation and refined winemaking practices, including the production of white wines. Their contributions helped shape the diverse range of white wines we enjoy today.

The Renaissance marked a revival in the appreciation of white wines among the European nobility and upper classes. This period saw the emergence of renowned white wine regions such as Burgundy, where Chardonnay flourished, and the Loire Valley, known for its Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc wines. These regions became synonymous with quality white wines, demonstrating the influence of terroir and winemaking craftsmanship.

Colonial expansion and exploration of the New World further enriched the global landscape of white wines. European settlers introduced white grape varieties to new territories, adapting them to different climates, soils and winemaking traditions. This led to the development of distinct white wine styles in regions such as California, Australia, South Africa and South America, contributing to the diversity and innovation of white wine production.

Today, white wine continues to captivate wine lovers around the world with its myriad styles, from crisp and refreshing to rich and complex. Winemakers use modern technology, sustainable practices and a deep understanding of grape varieties and terroirs to create exceptional white wines that reflect both tradition and modernity in the ever-evolving world of wine.

There are a wide white wine varieties, each with its own unique flavours, aromas and characteristics. Here are some of the most popular types of white wines:

White wines are valued for their refreshing qualities, food-friendly nature and ability to express a wide range of flavours and styles.

A good white wine is subjective and depends on personal preference, but several factors can contribute to a white wine’s quality and appeal:

Balance: A good white wine typically has a balanced combination of acidity, sweetness (if present), alcohol and flavour. The acidity provides freshness and structure, while the sweetness (if present) should harmonise with the other elements without being overpowering.

Complexity of aromas and flavours: Aromatic white wines with complex aromas and flavours are often considered good. These wines may have a range of fruity, floral, herbal and mineral notes that develop and intertwine on the palate, adding depth and interest.

Expression of varietal characteristics: A good white wine should showcase the unique characteristics of its grape variety and terroir. For example, a Sauvignon Blanc might have vibrant citrus, herbal and tropical fruit notes, while a Chardonnay might have rich apple, pear and vanilla nuances.

Structure and texture: White wines with good structure have a pleasant mouthfeel with a balance of body, texture and tannins (if present). Texture can range from crisp and light to creamy and full-bodied, depending on the winemaking technique and ageing.

Length and finish: The length of a white wine refers to how long its flavours linger on the palate after swallowing (finish). A good white wine will often have a lingering and enjoyable finish, with flavours that persist and evolve over time.

Quality of winemaking: Attention to detail in the winemaking process, such as gentle pressing, temperature control during fermentation, judicious use of oak (where appropriate) and appropriate ageing techniques, can contribute to the overall quality of a white wine.

Vintage and terroir: Factors such as vintage (climatic conditions during the growing season) and terroir (soil, climate, altitude, vineyard location) can influence the quality and character of a white wine. Exceptional vintages and wines from prestigious terroirs are often highly regarded.

Ultimately, what makes a white wine "good" varies from person to person, as taste preferences differ. Exploring different styles, grape varieties and regions can help individuals discover white wines that match their preferences and provide memorable tasting experiences.

Choosing and buying a good white wine involves considering several factors to suit your preferences, occasion and food pairing. Here are steps to help you choose a good white wine and white wine delivery:

Purposes and Occasions for White Wine:

Determine the purpose of the white wine (e.g., casual sipping, food pairing, special occasion) and the occasion (e.g., dinner party, outdoor gathering, relaxing evening at home).

White Wine Flavour Preferences:

Consider your taste preferences in white wine, such as acidity (crisp vs. smooth), sweetness (dry vs. off-dry vs. sweet), fruitiness, floral notes, herbal nuances and overall flavour profile (e.g. tropical fruit, citrus, stone fruit, green apple).

Food Pairings with White Wine:

When pairing with food, match the characteristics of the white wine with the flavours and intensity of the dish. For example: Crisp, high acidity whites such as Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño go well with seafood, salads and spicy dishes. Rich, full-bodied whites such as Chardonnay or Viognier complement creamy sauces, poultry and dishes with buttery or nutty flavours. Off-dry or sweet whites such as Riesling or Gewurztraminer go well with spicy dishes, Asian cuisine and desserts.

White Wine Varieties and Regions:

Familiarise yourself with different white grape varieties (e.g. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Grigio) and wine regions known for producing quality white wines (e.g. Burgundy, Loire Valley, Napa Valley, Alsace).

White Wine Style Preferences:

Consider the style of white wine you prefer, such as Crisp and refreshing whites with high acidity and citrus/tropical fruit flavours. Rich and full-bodied whites with a creamy texture, oak influence and complex flavours. Aromatic whites with floral, herbal or spicy notes and expressive aromas.

Budget:

Determine your budget for buying white wine. White wine prices can vary depending on grape quality, winemaking techniques, brand reputation and region of origin. Look for white wines within your budget that offer good value and quality.

Wine Shop or Online Wine Merchant:

Visit a reputable online wine shop like Organica Food & Wine with knowledgeable staff who can offer advice and recommendations based on your preferences and budget.

Proper storage of white wine is essential to preserve its flavours, aromas and overall quality. Here are some guidelines for storing white wine:

Temperature:

Store white wine at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C and 13°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can affect the quality of the wine. Refrigerate white wines if you plan to consume them within a short period of time. For long-term storage, consider a wine cellar, wine fridge or cool, dark storage area.

Humidity:

Maintain a relative humidity of around 50-70% to keep corks moist and prevent them from drying out. Dry corks can lead to air ingress and wine spoilage. Use a humidifier or moisture-absorbing products (e.g. silica gel packs) in your wine storage area to regulate humidity levels.

Exposure to light:

Protect white wine from direct sunlight and UV light, which can degrade the wine and cause "lightstruck" flavours (unpleasant aromas resembling cooked cabbage or wet cardboard). Store white wines in a dark or dimly lit area, away from fluorescent lighting, sunlight and heat sources.

Horizontal storage:

Store white wine bottles horizontally if they have natural corks. This keeps the cork in contact with the wine, preventing it from drying out and providing a better seal. If white wine bottles have synthetic corks or screw tops, vertical storage is acceptable and won't affect the quality of the wine.

Stable environment:

Avoid storing white wine in areas with temperature fluctuations, such as near heating vents, air conditioners or appliances that emit heat. Choose a storage location with a stable climate, free from extremes of temperature and humidity.

Ventilation:

Ensure proper ventilation in your wine storage area to prevent musty odours or mould growth. Good airflow helps maintain wine quality and reduces the risk of cork contamination.

Odour-free environment:

Store white wine away from strong odours, chemicals or volatile substances that can affect its aroma and flavour. Maintain a clean and odour-free storage area for optimal wine preservation.

Consistent storage conditions:

Maintain consistent storage conditions for white wines, especially if you're aging them for an extended period of time. Fluctuations in temperature, humidity or exposure to light can affect the quality of the wine over time.

By following these storage guidelines and maintaining a stable, cool and dark environment, you can preserve the flavours and integrity of your white wine collection for optimal enjoyment.
