With its effusive nose of white currants and elderberry blossom, you could almost mistake this elegant dry white for a sauvignon blanc. Very clean and crisp, but also with a healthy amount of substance and a complex citric and wet-stone finish that’s surprisingly long for an entry-level wine. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended white wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used in white wine blends, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied white wine blend, like Chardonnay, would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.
