White wine is mainly made from light-coloured grapes. The grapes are pressed and the juice is fermented without the skins, which gives the wine its characteristic pale colour. The variety of grapes, the growing region and the winemaking methods all contribute to the unique profiles of the various white wines.

The production of white wine begins with the grape harvest. After pressing, the juice is separated from the skins and transferred to tanks for fermentation. This fermentation usually takes place at low temperatures to preserve the fresh aromas. After fermentation, the wine may be aged in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels before being bottled.
