Grape varieties

Without grape varieties, there is no character: Whether a wine smells of cherry or gooseberry, whether it is powerfully full-bodied or refreshingly light – the grape determines it all. At Vinoscout, you'll discover over 150 grape varieties from around the world : great classics like Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay , southern temperament from Primitivo to Tempranillo – and rarities that you might be trying for the first time, from Aglianico to Zweigelt.
