From light-bodied zesty Sauvignon Blancs to full-bodied oaked Chardonnays, we Aussies love our white wines. They just suit our hot climate so well. White wine is mostly made from white grape varieties. However, red grapes can be used if the juice is quickly isolated from the skins and pips. White wines range from almost clear in colour to rich and golden. As a wine-drinking nation varietals we prefer include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Verdelho, Riesling and others. Whites are extremely versatile when it comes to food-matching - you can partner different styles with a wide variety of cuisine including seafood, poultry, light meat dishes, summer salads, cheeses, Asian dishes and more.
