A white mutation of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio<\/strong> enjoys popularity across the world. And, it\u2019s easy to see why. It\u2019s on every supermarket\u2019s shelves for a start, so it\u2019s easy to pick up on your way home from work. It\u2019s also versatile, easy drinking and makes a refreshing summer drink. If you have guests, it\u2019s likely they will like Pinot Grigio and there\u2019s one on pretty much every restaurant wine list. But, it\u2019s all too easy to keep on grabbing a bottle of Pinot Grigio with your weekly shop and becoming so stuck in your ways that you don\u2019t try anything else. If you love this style of wine<\/a>, there are lots of other options out there just waiting to be tasted\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Predominantly grown in North West Spain, Albarino is crisp and dry, just like Pinot Grigio, but it\u2019s a little less delicate, and much smoother. Its longer finish gives you more options when it comes to food pairing<\/strong><\/a> and you\u2019ll still get the lemony notes of a Pinot Grigio, albeit with the addition of a bit of ripe peach or apple.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another incredibly popular choice, Sauvingnon is just as drinkable as Pinot Grigio, but with much more intense minerality and floral aromas. While Sauvignon is grown across the globe and there are some great varieties from New Zealand and Chile, Spanish Sauvignons have local fruity and herby notes which can be similar to the fresh herbal<\/strong><\/a> aromas of a Pinot.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Often with more elegance than a Pinot Grigio, a Riesling is still clean, fresh and light, but it can cope with much more than a Pinot. They go beautifully with Asian dishes and you can even pair them with red meat in a curry. They\u2019re great, for example, with a beef Thai green curry. They\u2019ll also go well with fish dishes, particularly those which need a wine which can cut through any elements of spice.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nAlbarino<\/strong><\/h2>\n
