Curious Case August 2024, Amiably Aromatic
Add a Bit of Zest to the Repertoire
We’re veering into characterful country this month and showcasing some of the best aromatic varieties with a selection of six top-ranking whites. This collection takes you on a journey from northern Europe down to the sunny Mediterranean, across the Atlantic, plus a couple of southern hemisphere gems thrown in. Aromatic wines come from all sorts of climates and soils, but they all have that wonderful trait of unmistakable floral and often perfumed aromas.
Spice it up a Bit
Matching up with spicy dishes is what these come into their own. The layered flavours of a Gewurztraminer won’t wilt under the onslaught of Szechuan Chicken and the textured, fragrance of a good Viognier is great with Thai curry. They’re super with seafood too, A zesty, fresh and floral Albariño goes great guns with herby lemon shrimps hot off the grill.
Not for the Neutrals
These aren’t for blending into the background, these are asking you to sit up and take notice. When you’re after something with pizzazz, something flushed with exhilarating aromas and an air of indulgent decadence these are just the ticket. Here we’ve picked out a range that highlight the varied nuances of six different grapes.
They all bring something different to the table and are definitely not for the neutrals.
