In Australia, there are more than 160 different varietals grown on vineyards across the country. Still, that number is growing year by year as winemakers look to satisfy the consumer s insatiable desire for something novel. Here are four varietals that you may not have tried but could become your go-to drop.
Soave Soave might seem difficult to pronounce, but this Italian white is a wine with a future. It s probably similar in weight and style to pinot grigio and is a crisp, fresh white wine that offers a kaleidoscope of characters borrowed from a citrus orchard. According to vivino.com their users rate the Suavia Monte Carbonare 2017 very highly - though at over $40 a bottle it would want to be above average!
