Which is a dry white wine, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc?
Both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are popular dry white wines – each with its own with distinct characteristics.
Chardonnay is known for its versatility and can vary widely in flavour depending on factors like the region where it's produced and winemaking techniques. Chardonnay wines can range from crisp and citrusy to rich and buttery, often influenced by factors like oak aging.
On the other hand, Sauvignon Blanc is typically known for its high acidity and bright, zesty flavours. Common tasting notes for Sauvignon Blanc include citrus, green apple, grass, and sometimes herbal or mineral undertones.
In summary, both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc can be dry white wines, but they have different flavour profiles. If you prefer a wine with a broader range of possible flavours, you might enjoy Chardonnay. If you lean towards a wine with high acidity and vibrant citrus notes, Sauvignon Blanc might be more to your liking.
Which is drier, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc?
