|
Fine white wines are made all over the world. Here is a short list of good white wines from outside the USA, a list of a little sunshine in a wine glass that you can get your hands on and savor. You may just like the wine so much that it may leave you with a pleasant opinion of that country. Schloss Gobelsburg Gruner Veltliner Lamm 2009: This fine white wine is from Austria. This is a lush, creamy and tropical white wine, with aromas and flavors of guava, pineapple, apricot and pecan. It has a rich finish that is powerful, spicy and smoky, with a mineral essence that is delicate. It can be approached now through 2020. Elios Mediterranean White 2010: This fine white wine is from Greece. This wine is pale yellow like the color of straw with a bouquet of melon and citrus with a hint of vanilla and honey. The wine is refreshing and crisp on the palate, having distinct finish of green apple. Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap White 2010: This white wine is from South Africa. This wine is a blend Viognier 67%, Chenin Blanc 19% and Grenache Blanc 14%. It has a pleasant mix of fruit blossom, almond and spice flavors that is followed by a neatly textured palate with good weight and a smooth finish. The wine has an aftertaste of subtle wood flavors that lingers. Yarden Sauvignon Blanc 2009: This fine white wine is from Israel. Yarden Sauvignon Blanc proudly protrudes it notes of bright fresh lime, some kiwi and a hint of guava. Its shows off a tropical green character that is medium bodied. The finish is fresh, making this wine drinkable with a lot of joy. It is best to consume it within a few years from its harvest. Maximin Grunhauser Riesling QbA Trocken 2009: This fine white wine comes from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany. This Riesling is dry and has a swirl of vanilla, apple and citrus deeply embedded in such a base as rain water that is harvested within a stony hollow. The finish is light and fresh as the flavors linger on. |
