Recommendation result

I usually enjoy crisp, dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, but I’d like to try something new from a different region — maybe something a little more complex but still refreshing. Any suggestions?

If you're a fan of crisp, dry wines like Sauvignon Blanc and are seeking something new yet refreshing and a bit more complex, I'd recommend exploring a few exciting options that align with your preferences and might surprise your palate with their unique characteristics.

A wonderful starting point would be the Calazul Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain. Known for its intense nose of nectarine and peach, it boasts a creamy yet crisp palate, making it versatile for sipping on its own or complementing simple seafood dishes. This wine maintains the refreshing quality you appreciate in Sauvignon Blanc but offers a touch of complexity with its stone fruit-driven profile.

Another intriguing choice is the Hunawihr Riesling from Alsace, France. It offers citrus and midsummer orchard fruit notes with a hint of sweetness. While its freshness aligns with the dry qualities you love, Riesling introduces a certain elegant richness that's thoroughly enjoyable. It's ideal if you're curious about experimenting with slightly different grapes while maintaining the clean finish you enjoy.

Additionally, you might consider the Anheuser WeißerBurgunder Trocken from Germany's Nahe region. This Pinot Blanc is a fascinating wine with white peach and citrus scents, boasting a serious body and significant character. It's unoaked, preserving its crisp and refreshing nature, while the depth of flavours will provide the complexity you're looking to explore.

These selections not only offer a refreshing experience akin to Sauvignon Blanc, but they also introduce distinctive regional nuances and additional layers of complexity. Enjoy discovering your new favourite!
