Viticulture is practiced in almost all of the temperate zone in the southern and northern hemispheres. We learn from scientific sources published on this subject that the number of wine grape varieties grown in the vineyards is more than ten thousand. Of course, each grape and wine variety has its own unique identity, flavor and physical characteristics. But in light of the characteristics we evaluate wines for, and before we set out to get to know the thousands of grapes, it can make our lives easier to take a closer look at the members of a smaller grape league.
The years of experience of wine connoisseurs tell us that we can discover the common characteristics of this wide range of products in a shorter way with wines made from 9 red and 9 white wine grapes. Thinking that it is difficult to fit all of the noble grapes in one article, we divided it into two parts. In the first part, there are 9 types of red wine noble grapes.
- Pinot Noir
With this lightest red wine, we understand how acidic and aromatic red wine is
- Grenache
This wine, which is almost like confectionery, allows us to recognize its light and fruity properties.
- Merlot
It is an example of a soft tannic wine that can be medium or full bodied, emphasizing its fruity character.
- Sangiovese
It is aromatic like Pinot Noir, but with more distinct tannins and cherry fruit.
- Nebbiolo
Despite its high tannin and acidity, it is an example of a light-colored wine.
- Tempranillo
It is a high tannin, dark red wine with traces of soil and tobacco.
- Cabernet Sauvignon
It is a typical example of full-bodied, long-finished, dark, strong wines.
- Syrah
It is a medium finish red wine with soft tannins and black fruits.
- Malbec
It is an example that evokes confectionery like Grenache, but with traces of blueberry and blackberry.
