Maybe you\u2019ve gone through your ros\u00e9s and sipped a Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc every night for the past three weeks this summer. When it\u2019s time to quench your thirst next time around, stick to the climes you\u2019d retreat to in order to escape the hot weather:<\/strong> the seaside and mountaintops<\/strong>. The same elements that draw you to these environments are what make them perfect zones for producing refreshing, zingy white wine.<\/p>\n

Coastal wineries craft crisp whites that are cooled with the saline breezes from the ocean, and whites from high elevations are made bright and lively with chilly nighttime temperatures. Three specific varietal wines that are often overlooked are Albari\u00f1o, Vermentino, <\/strong>and Torront\u00e9s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

White Wines to Try Instead of the Usual<\/h1>\n

These grapes are grown along the coast of the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and in some of the highest vineyards in the world. And though they show different characteristics that make them perfect for specific white wine drinkers, each is an excellent pairing with seafood, fish, and fresh summer vegetables.<\/p>\n

If you like Pinot Grigio, try Vermentino<\/h2>\n

Vermentino comes from Italy\u2019s Mediterranean coast<\/strong> along Liguria, Sardinia, and Maremma in Tuscany. It has a light to medium body and is just lightly aromatic, similar to Pinot Grigio. However, when cultivated with care, the vine yields big, ripe, deeply-colored wines with balance, substance, and character. Also like Pinot Grigio, Vermentino is moderately high in acidity, without quite the same level of zing you\u2019ll find in, for example, a Sauvignon Blanc. You\u2019ll often find notes of peach, citrus, herbs, and almonds.<\/p>\n

Try Campo al Mare Vermentino di Bolgheri DOC<\/a>, which comes from an area with an exceptional climate moderated by sea breezes along the Tyrrhenian Sea of Tuscany, and pair with shellfish or poultry.<\/p>\n

If you like Sauvignon Blanc, try Albari\u00f1o<\/h2>\n

From the R\u00edas Baixas in western Spain along the Atlantic coast<\/strong>, Albari\u00f1o is light, elegant, and fresh with excellent acidity. The grape\u2019s thick skin contributes to the wine\u2019s intense fragrance, which fans of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs will love. Albari\u00f1o offers pleasant surprise in its variety of mouthfeel, as it can seem both compellingly textured yet light on the palate.<\/p>\n

A great wine to try is Bodega Don Olegario\u2019s Albari\u00f1o<\/a>, with beautifully aromatic notes of white pear, apple, and floral undertones; the palate is citrusy and herbal. It pairs perfectly with seafood and fish, and also stands up well to international cuisine like sushi, or spicy Indian and Thai food.<\/p>\n

\"Albarino
In Spain, Albari\u00f1o grapes are grown in trellises off the ground to protect from rot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you like Chardonnay, try Torront\u00e9s<\/h2>\n

Torront\u00e9s is the signature white grape of Argentina, and when grown in the Salta region of Argentina<\/strong>, gives incredibly refreshing wines perfect for drinking on a hot summer day. Many people love the fuller body of Chardonnay wines, and a Torront\u00e9s strikes the right balance between refreshing and medium-bodied. It is aromatic with fruity, floral notes similar to a cool or moderate climate Chardonnay, but different enough to provide a unique tasting experience. And Torront\u00e9s is a grape that can provide complexity, such as when a producer decides to age on its lees.<\/p>\n

Alta Vista Estate Torront\u00e9s<\/a> is grown in vineyards among the terroirs of Salta, sitting at 5,400 feet elevation. It is an example of lees aging and has delicate floral aromas and hints of white fruit; it\u2019s very easy-drinking and fresh. Pair it with grilled or fried seafood or other snacks like onion rings, or focaccia topped with olive tapenade.<\/p>\n
