What is a
grape variety?
A grape variety is a type of grape used to make wine. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Riesling are all grape varieties.
Each has its own character: some produce light, fresh wines, while others are richer, fruitier, more tannic or aromatic. Climate, soil and the producer’s work then shape how the grape expresses itself in the glass.
