Varietal wine is made primarily from a single grape variety, allowing the unique characteristics of that grape to shine through. This type of wine is often labeled with the name of the grape, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay, which helps consumers identify the flavor profile and style they can expect. The production of varietal wine emphasizes the importance of terroir, the environmental factors that affect a crop's phenotype. Winemakers focus on the specific qualities of the grape, including its aroma, taste, and texture, to create a wine that truly represents its varietal heritage.
