Minimal intervention styles are
growing in popularity as drinkers
appreciate the pure expression of fruit,
intermingled with the winemaker’s
skill. Similarly, there is a growing
interest in natural or wild ferment
wines, which100Proof is excited to
showcase in this edition of
Wine Essentials.

From the oaky, buttery fruit bombs of
the 90’s to the nervy, austere and flinty
expressions of the new Millennium,
winemakers are beginning to nail the middle
ground with Chardonnay: Textural but
delicate, oaked but integrated, terroir driven,
but unique. Listing a number Chardonnays
from the plethora of regional expressions
will add interest and depth to any list.

Imported wines and varietals are being
enjoyed by consumers and with a range
of price points and styles, are more
accessible than ever before. Prosecco,
Pinot Grigio and red varietals such as
Grenache, Tempranillo and Sangiovese are
establishing a strong reputation and offer
a food friendly alternative to some of the
more traditional wine styles.

Health and wellbeing is a trend
that is here to stay with younger
generations opting for lower ABV wines
as an alternative to the more robust reds
and full bodied whites. This trend affects
the way consumers drink wine and I’m
seeing an increasing trend towards
wine based cocktails and spritz’s.
