White wines also have odours and tastes such as mineral, spice, herbs, tobacco, hay, yeast, honey, caramel and nuts.

The tastes comes from either the grape variety, the yeasts if indigenous yeasts are not used to start fermentation, the fermentation period, or the oak used for ageing.

  • AUSTRALIAN WHITE BLENDS
    AUSTRALIAN WHITE BLENDS

    Australian white wine blends is an experimentation with alternative white grapes which has grown apace in Australia over the past several decades. This has sprung first from a curiosity on the part of winemakers, which has in turn affected and enthused wine drinkers. Variety is the spice of life, and the saying was never truer than for wine.

    The blending of Australian white wines can develop an interesting array of flavours which can generally develop broad, low acid, bone dry whites that are not really built for aging. Whereas some with a Marsanne, Roussanne grape can develop rich and textural characteristics.

    Who wants a steady diet of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling? In the white Italian grape variety alone, we now have people making interesting wine from cortese, arneis,picolit, and verduzzo, as well as pinot grigio grapes. And on the French side we have Petit Manseng, viognier,the more established Colombard, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer and more.

  • WHITE ~ ORGANIC WINES
    WHITE ~ ORGANIC WINES

    Organic wines are environmentally friendly, and also a great way to enjoy wine as nature intended.

    In accordance with the Australian Certified Organic Standard, makers of green (organic) wine don't apply any synthetic chemicals to the soil, vines or wine. Their wines must contain no more than half the amount of preservative found in conventional wines.

    The organic wine movement started in Australia in 1971 when Gil Wahlquist planted the seeds of organic wine and established Botobolar vineyard in Mudgee. In 1984 it became the first certified organic vineyard in the country. So what all the fuss about? Organic wine is based on a number of key criterias these are:

    . All natural
    . Produced using environmentally sustainable farming methods
    . Grown without artificial pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or fertilisers
    . Contains no genetically modified (GM) ingredients
    . Contains minimal or no added preservatives (good news if you're sensitive to sulphur dioxid
    . Must be genuine to display an official 'certified organic' logo

    Minimal intervention helps to produce a wine that's as close as possible to nature. Where possible the winemaker can use existing wild yeast for fermentation, rather than introduce a strain. The Nature's Step Organic Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc is an example of how naturally occurring yeast can bring out the wine's distinctive flavour and aroma.

    Environmental sustainability is an important requirement of organic winemaking. The winemakers at Gemtree Vineyards in McLaren Vale for example have taken green to the extreme by creating a 10-hectare wetland area for native plants, frogs, birds and other animals.

    Organic winemaking has come a long way since early, and often disappointing, attempts to produce an organic or green wine of comparable quality to conventional wine.

    Australia produces several fine certified organic preservative-free wines, including the Temple Bruer Preservative Free Cabernet Merlot, which is especially good news for people who are sensitive to the preservative sulphur dioxide.Finally, in Australia there are three agencies that certify organic grape and wine producers.

  • AUSTRALIAN ALCOHOL FREE WHITE WINES
    AUSTRALIAN ALCOHOL...

    Non-alcoholic wine is made in exactly the same way as regular wine, in fact it starts off as regular, alcoholic wine. Then de-alcolising of the wine commences when experts gently remove the alcohol by using one or more highly technical methods leaving behind less that 0.05% ABV which is about the same as a ripe banana

    There are three popular methods of alcohol removal which include a spinning cone, filtration and distillation. The entire process of making non-alcoholic wine is a craft (in the same way making alcoholic wine is). The wine components are carefully deconstructed retaining all the flavours and characters and them built back together excluding the alcohol. It is a highly technically and complex process but the end result when done well is a non-alcoholic wine that tastes, smells and has the same mouthfeel as the wine we are used to drinking.

    The taste of non-alcoholic wine compared to alcoholic wine, many wines are virtually identical. Some of the wines taste just like their alcoholic versions include the Newblood Shiraz, Giesen 0% Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, and the McGuigan Zero Dry Sparkling.

    Interestingly non alcoholic wine may have less calories, as most of the calories in alcoholic drinks come from the alcohol itself, so most non-alcoholic wines contain around a third or even half the calories of standard wine.

    Non alcholic beverages can be delicious and also an healthier alternative than regular wine. Many are rich in anti-aging properties such as antioxidants, such as the plus and minus range which include added benefits of antioxidant rich grape seed extract to their wines, or Wild Life Botanicals which include a host of vitamins and minerals. Non-alcoholic wines contain less calories which is better for our waistline, but we all know alcohol is simply not good for us.

    One of the earliest known de-alcoholisation processes came from Carl Jung in Germany and dates back to 1908. Carl Jung patented his process and the famous winery not only makes their own range of non-alcoholic wine, they are remove the alcohol for many other brands.
