The Battle Of Chardonnay And Sauvingnon Blancs

May 11th, 2011

There has been a wide debate over which wine has a better taste or has a better price that matches its flavor and preference of brand. A great deal that comes with this issue is the fact that the world lost its love for Chardonnay some time ago. For some reason, it all started to taste the same to them hence, leading wine drinkers to say “ABC” or “Anything but Chardonnay”. Many lead producers of the sauv blanc, took the lead of making clean, zesty with tropical fruit and gooseberry brew of wine. To overtake the Chardonnay wine market, different countries started to manufacture complex Sauvignon Blanc.

There is a big difference between the two wines depending on their characteristics, taste and growing methods. Chardonnay is chilly, fruity and just easy to drink. In the 80’s, white wine is described as a glass of Chardonnay. You can make a Chardonnay in two different styles. One way is highlighting the strong, high-toned, fruity qualities of the wine and using less oak. The other way gives the wine a whole and heavy taste that highights the barrel and malolactic fermentation that adds to the fruit quality. On the other hand, Sauv blanc came up with an innate high acidity and more often than not, tasty, spiky, and racy. This characteristic encompasses the sweet and dessert category that keeps it from tasting sticky or sugary.

In the international market, a lot has been said about these two wines. The consumers, fans and buyers are astonished by these reputable manufacturers who create these top quality wines with various taste and innovative personality of the wines they make. New Zealand sauv blanc is highly regarded throughout the world because of its definitive standard of style for the varietal. A huge growth of wine fans appreciates the distinctive, energetic and strong flavors the make. Chardonnay keeps its varietal integrity whether it came from Australia, New Zealand or South Africa just as long as it is grown in an appropriate environment. Even if it grows old, this kind of wine will still taste better. People got too tired of drinking of the same old combination of wine and Chardonnay’s fame sunk. Now, makers of the Chardonnay are coming back with a new kind of taste and adding more strong flavors to it. Our local wineries changed their methods reforming the way we drink our favorite Chardonnay. Weather your prefer sauvignon blanc or the Chardonnay, it all depend on the choice of your taste buds because nothing can compete with your own preference even if it the price is right.
