Wine 101: 'Noble' Grapes

Posted by at 1 comment:

‘Noble’ grapes encompass the varietals which supposedly produce wines of the highest quality and are spread out across the world. With a long history of winemaking across centuries and international trends, 18 varietals are considered as ‘Classic’, and recognized across the world

Most of them are of French origin, which have always had a strong influence on the wine world, while the remaining are European.

Reds



Whites



As the quality of these grapes are not put in question, it is often decried that in many wine regions (like the Languedoc in Southern France for example amongst others, but also in Spain or Italy), local growers prefer to plant ‘Noble’ grapes rather than local varietals. This causes a slow decrease of tradition and an increased uniformity of taste across the world. A great documentary to learn about the impact of globalization of wines is the 2004 ‘Mondovino’ by Jonathan Nossiter which I recommend you to watch.

    As the Gutedel (Chasselas) form Germany, Cabernet Dorsa ist eine Varietät der Edlen Weinrebe (Vitis vinifera). Sie besitzt zwittrige Blüten und ist somit selbstfruchtend.
    Cabernet Mitos ist eine Varietät der Edlen Weinrebe (Vitis vinifera).Cabernet Cubin ist eine Varietät der Edlen Weinrebe (Vitis vinifera).Cabernet Dorio ist eine Varietät der Edlen Weinrebe (Vitis vinifera) This all new breed form the best grapes, this gives an excellent quality and strong flavoured wine.
