Riesling white wines
This white wine style was born in Germany, in the Rhine region, although it has spread to other countries such as France. When it comes to defining it, we must mention its smoothness and high acidity. It is fresh and has a low alcohol content.
Serve very cold and with spicy recipes, such as dishes from India. Put it on the table when serving chicken, pork, shrimp and fish dishes. The pairing will be outstanding.
Sauvignon Blanc white wine
Although it started being cultivated in Bordeaux (France), today it has spread all over the world. As a result, the production of the well-known fruity and herby flavoured wine knows no borders. It is generally silky and intense, with a short finish.
Sauvignon blanc is ideal for pairing with vegetables, mushroom risotto, minced meats and meats with barbecue sauce, among other foods. It can also be eaten as an aperitif with pickled vegetables. We recommend you this Intramurs de Poblet White which its Sauvignon Blanc grape gives it a tropical and fruity touch.
Semillon white wines
The grape of the same name became the most widespread throughout the world. It’s responsible for wines with strong herbaceous notes and strong flavours, generally spicier and heavier than other whites. There also have fruity notes, which change according to the environment where they are produced.
On the other hand, its texture is somewhat oily and creamy. The pairing of this white wine style is quite versatile, as it can be served with both white fish and pork chops. Also with potatoes, pumpkin, cheese, etc.
Viognier white wines
Linked to ancient Rome, the Viognier grape is now cultivated in several parts of Europe. The result is a wine with acidic characteristics and floral notes. These are complemented by fruity flavours, reminiscent of pears and mandarin, as well as mango and honeysuckle.
It can be paired with rice dishes, pork, chicken, mild cheeses, vegetables and seafood. So, you can serve it at dinners and lunches with a wide range of recipes.
