Know the Different Types of Wines Before Opting for a Vineyard Auckland Tour

Did you know there are several grape varieties found across the globe? This means the wine varieties are many, thus offering you variations in style, color, and taste. Choosing the best Vineyard Auckland tours get you through mesmerizing valleys, hills, and water bodies of New Zealand and renders you an experience of a lifetime. 

Categories of Wines

The three main divisions of wines are put in the following categories. If you are not aware of it, you can always verify the same from your Wine Tour New Zealand tour operator.

  • White wines 
  • Red wines 
  • Sparkling, Rose, and fortified wines
White Wines - The juice is extracted from green-colored grapes that offer a colorless texture. Its aroma and acid structure are highly crucial. Stored in stainless steel barrels, white wines age progressively, thus developing fresh aromas for the nose and taste buds. This type of wine is generally made from one grape variety. The taste can range from sweet to dry in taste. It should be known that the aromas and flavors of white wines depend on the grapes, the soil, and the climate where they are from. 

Red Wines - They are extracted from black-skinned grapes. The grape skin gets mixed with the extracted juice that develops into a reddish-purplish aromatic beverage. The most important quality of the dark-skinned grape is the presence of tannins that produce a bitterness and dryness effect. It should be noted that tannins act as a preservative that helps red wines to age longer when compared to white wines. Red wines are varietal wines from any single red grape. 

Sparkling Wines - They are generally white, or red. The best part is they can be produced from any grape varieties. The taste of this wine varies from being sweet to dry. Prosecco and champagne are popular sparkling wines. 

The advice is to do your research and learn about wines before you go on tours around Auckland Vineyards.
