Germany - White Wines

One of the most enjoyable ways to drink a Hock or Moselle is as an apéritif. Fragrant and self contained, they tend to be medium to sweet.

Try the Beerenauslese as an alternative to Sauternes for dessert. It is wonderfully long on the palate without the heavy alcohol of the French equivalents.

Chile & Argentina - White Wines

Chile & Argentina are now beginning to attract significant attention from wine critics as areas producing well made value for money wines. The Sauvignon style is a half way house between the profound New Zealand examples and the more restrained upper Loire, whilst the Chilean Chardonnay is a delicious example showing that good Chardonnay does not need the influence of oak ageing.

Italy - White Wines

Italy offers some of the most interesting, different and good value wines to be found. The whites have now passed the state of almost neutrality. Producers are mastering low yields, cold maceration and temperature controlled fermentation. Oak is used with far more understanding than formerly.
