The A-Z of Grapes: Start Your Wine Discovery Here

Welcome to the foundation of flavour! Every bottle of wine - whether it's a deep, brooding red or a crisp, zesty white—starts with the grape. If you've ever wondered why a Sancerre tastes different from a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, or what exactly gives a wine its body and tannins, the answer is right here.

Why Explore Grape Varieties?

Knowing the grape is the key to understanding wine flavour and style.

• Predict Flavour: Once you understand the core characteristics of, say, Merlot (plummy, soft tannins) or Riesling (high acid, floral), you can confidently predict what a bottle will taste like, even if the producer or region is new to you.
• Unlock New Regions: Grapes are global travellers! Discover how the same grape expresses itself differently when grown in various terroirs—for instance, how Chardonnay changes from the cool climate of Chablis to the warmer valleys of California.

• Find Your Next Favourite: Ready to move beyond the classics? Browsing by grape is the fastest way to discover a new love, whether it's the aromatic spice of Viognier or the earthy complexity of Nebbiolo.
