A grape variety that does not have a distinctive aroma or flavor is called a "neutral variety." This term is mainly used for white wine, and " Chardonnay " and " Koshu " are representative neutral varieties.
The taste of wine varies greatly depending on the climate and soil, so even wines made from the same Chardonnay can taste very different depending on where they are grown.
In addition, because it has less of a distinctive character, the brewer can add various characteristics to it using his or her techniques. Blending it with other varieties or adding nuances from the barrel can give it a unique flavor.
Grape varieties that have a strong, aromatic scent are called aromatic varieties .
