Explore the world of aromatic white wines in this class focused on their distinctive, expressive profiles. We’ll examine how grape varieties like Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Torrontés develop their bold aromas and flavors, and discuss the winemaking techniques and terroirs that shape them. Through a curated tasting, you’ll learn how to identify key characteristics and better understand the versatility of these wines, whether for pairing or enjoyment on their own.
