While there are several white wines dominating the white wine conversation, several other captivating varieties are becoming more well known due to their key flavours and characteristics.
To truly expand your palate and explore the diverse world of white wine seek out a Grüner Veltliner, Albariño, Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Suave or Fiano as they offer captivating alternatives to the more well-known varieties. Each boasts a uniqueness that can enhance your wine-drinking experience.
Fiano is a white grape variety native to Southern Italy. As such these grapes thrive in the slightly warmer Langhorne Creek region of South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula.
One of Australia's most loved white wines, Houghton White Classic is refreshing and flavoursome with a crisp dry finish. Flavours of fresh fruit salad, tropical and citrus fruit abound, with a palate that is fresh, juicy and mouth-filling.
An alternate variety thriving in our climate, with aromas of orange blossom, pesto, and honeysuckle. The palate is savoury and textured, showing pear, hazelnut, and a touch of orange, with spice and a waxy mid-palate from skin fermentation. Versatile with light meats or rich fish, enjoy now or over the next five years.
