Region France
France is the world's most well known ‘Old World’ growing region and perhaps the most respected in the world. France is famous for their Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone growing regions amongst others. French wines are structured and balanced with the fruit, tannins and the terroir of the growing region. Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and more all find homes in France.
Sweetness Dry
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
Body Medium-Full
Typically wines featuring grapes that naturally have bigger flavours and may have higher tannins, oaking or alcohol levels.
Oak Medium
Most red wines will have at least a medium oak level as it is an expected part of the taste of a red wine.
