White Wine

White wine is a type of wine made from the fermentation of the non-colored pulp of grapes, which can be either white or green. The production process typically involves crushing the grapes to extract juice, which is then fermented, often with the skins removed to prevent coloration. White wines are characterized by their light color, ranging from pale straw to golden hues. They typically have a range of flavors and aromas, including notes of citrus, stone fruits, floral, and sometimes tropical fruits, depending on the grape variety and winemaking techniques used. White wines can vary in style from dry to sweet and may undergo processes like aging in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks, impacting their flavor profile and texture. Common grape varieties used for white wine include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. White wines are often served chilled and are typically paired with lighter foods such as seafood, poultry, or salads.
