Finding the Wine that Suits Your taste |
Few things are more satisfying than pouring a glass of wine after a busy week. Whether you are looking to celebrate or just unwind, the perfect wine can make all the difference. Of course, there are thousands of grape varieties used to make wine, and, as a result, even more wines to choose from. Before you grab the first thing you see off the shelf, consider what you're looking for in a wine and let the team at Joe Canal's help you find bottles to stock your wine rack. Here, we provide insights into the different styles offered at our Lawrenceville, New Jersey, location. A Closer Look at RedsRed wine gets its color and flavor from the black grape skins involved in the winemaking process. Winemakers press the skins and combine them with the grape juice, resulting in a reddish-purple appearance. These wines use tannins to age longer and are often aged in oak barrels. This gives the red wine its taste and scent, which can often be described with notes of cocoa, vanilla, or spice. When utilized, oak aging also allows each sip to go down smoothly. Depending on the region, red wines can exhibit a ripe and fruity flavor and an earthy aroma. Looking for some suggestions? Consider the following:
All About White WineUnlike red wine, the skins of the green grapes used to make white wine are removed from the process, taking away the tannins associated with reds. They are generally aged in steel barrels to keep their aroma. The result is a bold acid structure and floral hints. Tastes range from dry to sweet depending on the grapes used. In cooler climates, whites are bursting with citrusy flavor, while warm climates produce tropical notes. Chardonnay is the most popular white in the world, with grapes growing in all major regions. It is neutral, allowing it to adapt flavor and scent to the fermenting process. Comparatively, Pinot Grigio is a crisp, refreshing white, while Riesling delivers a wonderful mix of fruit and floral with a light body. And then there is Sauvignon Blanc, a versatile style providing high acidity and intensity that varies based on region. What About the Others?If red and white aren't your thing, rosé might be the perfect mix. Rosé, like red wine, starts with the grape skins mixed in. They are removed after a short period, however, resulting in a lush, pink color and berry flavoring. Meanwhile, sparkling wine can come in a range of colors and can be made from many different grape varieties. These exciting wines offer varying sugar content and include common choices like Prosecco and Champagne. Lastly, fortified wines are generally sweet wines often served with dessert. They are made from adding distilled grape spirit to wine that has already begun or finished fermentation. Fortified wines are high in alcohol content and include Port, Marsala, and Sherry.
