We often forget that thousands of grape varieties exist globally, with only a select few gaining widespread recognition. We’re all acquainted with popular varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. However, many lesser-known yet equally delightful grape varieties typically fly under the radar of avid wine enthusiasts and professionals alike.
