The wine market offers an endless selection of wines, each unique in its own way. But sometimes it's worth thinking outside the box and trying unconventional wines. Here are five wines you should definitely try:
-
Orange Wine: Orange wine is a white wine produced in the same way as red wine. The grapes are fermented with their skins and seeds, giving the wine an orange color and developing unique flavors. Orange wines have a light tannin structure and can range from dry to sweet.
-
Pet-Nat: Pet-Nat is short for "Pétillant Naturel" and refers to a naturally sparkling wine. The wine is naturally fermented in the bottle, resulting in a slight carbonation. Pet-Nats are light and refreshing and can be made from a variety of grape varieties.
-
Schiava: Schiava is a red grape variety grown in northern Italy. The wine has a pale color and a light, fruity flavor. Schiava is perfect for the summer months and pairs well with light dishes like salads and fish.
-
Txakoli: Txakoli is a white wine from the Basque Country in Spain and is made from the indigenous Hondarribi Zuri grape variety. The wine has a light effervescence and a dry flavor with aromas of green apple and citrus fruits. Txakoli is a perfect accompaniment to seafood and fish dishes.
-
Zweigelt: Zweigelt is a red grape variety grown in Austria and other parts of Europe. The wine has a deep red color and a full, fruity flavor. Zweigelt is often described as having berry and cherry notes and pairs well with meat dishes.
