Question: Sid – What is a new growing in hot popularity white wine grape other than Chardonnay that I should try?
Answer: Suggest Albarino a native grape grown in Portugal and Spain shows increased consumer popularity. Successful as well in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia by Terravista Vineyards including a Sparkling version. Consumers like the fresh apricot-peach nuances in a crisper style matching well with food and more affordable than Chablis.
Secondly, Gruner Veltliner the exciting native Austrian white grape variety is also now successful in the Okanagan with Culmina, Fort Berens, and O’Rourke’s Peak Cellars all worth investigating. A range of styles from lighter to fuller but with versatile higher acidity apple-lime notes accentuated by a unique distinctive white pepper pairing nicely with many foods. Try them.
