Hailing from the coolest alpine and maritime-influenced regions of Europe, including Txacoli, Spain; Minho, Portugal; and Savoie, France, 1W wines are steel-fermented with no oak aging. They’re remarkably light-bodied, with a mouthfeel like skim milk, and have tart, lip-smacking acidity. Common varietals include Hondarrabi Zuri, Alvarinho/Albariño, and Jacquère. Pair these wines with light dishes that have bright acidity.
