White Wines for Mothers Day

January 16th, 2008 by mothersday

Wondering what kind of Mothers day gift to choose for my mother I decided to make a wonderful wine gift basket for her. But then I did not know what kind of wine to buy. If you have the same problem like me, then I will try to give you more information about the different and most popular white wines in the world.

If she likes wine, this will be really good gift for her, which she could share with the rest of you. America’s number one selling white wine is the Chardonnay. It is the most loved dry white wine there. The Chardonnay grape adapts very easy to the different climate conditions and that is why it is wide spread around the world and its price is not very high. The wine has special favor of fresh fruits, pears, apples, melon and citrus.

Other very popular wine is Sauvignon Blanc. It is very refreshing, medium-bodied wine with wide range of flavors. You can find wines with herb, grass, veggie, lime or grapefruit, other tropical fruits and gooseberries. The Sauvignon Blanc offers unique tasting adventure. This wine originates form France, but very good wine is made now in New Zealand region Marlborough, too. It is widely available all over the world and is not very expensive.

Gewurztraminer Wines well pair with Asian dishes. The aromas and flavors of the wine include citrus, pear, spice, rose and miner. Better buy sooner than later post -bottled ones. The wine usually is in dry or sweet varieties.

Riesling Wines are popular modern white wines. The wines originate from Germany and are produced in dry and sweet variations. So if you want to buy a sweet one read carefully the label, it should be written Auslese. If you prefer dry wine then on the label you have to read Trocken. If you know that your mother love refreshing, crisp and versatile wine, then this will be your best choice.  Riesling Wines have very special fruit flavor with peach, apple and pear aromas mixed with delicate floral undertones.
