Gewürztraminer, Viognier & Albariño: Three Aromatic Paths

The Idea
Not all aromatic grapes express themselves in the same way. Some rely on freshness and acidity. Others rely on richness and perfume. Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Albariño are among the most distinctive white grape varieties in the wine world, yet they could hardly be more different. One is exotic and spicy. One is rich and floral. One is bright and ocean-fresh. Understanding their structure is the key to understanding their style.
