Blends
White blends are most common in Old World regions. Bordeaux’s Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc mix is a stunning example of what blending whites can achieve, producing rich, creamy wines, capable of years bottle agеing.
Nowhere is the art of blending taken more seriously than France’s Southern Rhône region. The white blends of the Southern Rhône are driven by one of three main varieties, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, or Viognier, and also include a mix of Marsanne, Ugni Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc etc.
In Spain, there are seven varieties permitted in the white Rioja blend, the most common of which are Malvasia and Viura – the former being responsible for the fruity aromas and the latter for the “flesh” of the body. Like Rioja reds, barrel ageing plays an important role for adding more complexity to the wine.
