I'm not particularly fussy and like most white wines but I do enjoy a Marlborough sauvignon blanc however am getting a bit bored of this now. What else might I like? Nothing too sweet!

Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris ?

A nice Gavi!

Maddy70 · 30/08/2023 09:59

Try a Spanish verdejo. My current favourite

Agree with this. Also Pecorino.

I second pecorino.

I’ve also become very fond of Portuguese wines. Not just vinho verde, all sorts.

How about a Soave? The cheap co-op one is so drinkable

CurlewKate · 30/08/2023 10:11

Picpoul. Aldi do a fabulous one.

wasahoarder · 30/08/2023 10:19

My fave is a Touraine Sauvignon blanc, but I also really like Viognier. Pouilly fumé for when I'm feeling fancy.

potatoes4all · 30/08/2023 10:34

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is my favourite white wine, I also like Viognier, picpoul & a a white Rioja.

Mapletreelane · 30/08/2023 10:55

Sancerre is the sauvignon Blanc grape but much more delicate than the New Zealand wines. It's my favourite wine but it is a treat as a bit pricier than the NZ version!

MissCordeliaPreston · 30/08/2023 12:12

I only like dry white wines so go for Chablis or Pouilly Fumé. There are some really good dry Italian whites as well but I don't have any names in mind right now.

popandchoc · 30/08/2023 13:30

i am a big fan of a Sauvignon and also like chenin blanc and also picpoul is also a good choice.

Verdejo or albariño. Yum!

Came on to say this!

Also, I know the marlborough SB has a very distinct taste but try some of the french SBs they are different but still very lovely to drink

NegativNancy · 30/08/2023 13:37

Gruner Veltliner, as pp mentioned, is bloody lovely.
Also, viognier and pinot gris are current favourites.

Magicmagician · 30/08/2023 13:38

Another one for gruner veltliner and gavi here.

rogueone · 30/08/2023 13:38

I really like Alborino...i got bored of sauvignon and really like alborino. There is an italian Vitesse I like too

Pollywoddles · 30/08/2023 13:40

White or Grey burgundy, both dry from the Pfalz, Germany (weißburgunder trocken or grauburgunder trocken

Riesling trocken too from the same region.

Albarino.

SadlyACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything · 30/08/2023 13:41

Sancerre or a Chenin blanc.

Hobbi · 30/08/2023 13:45

PurBal · 30/08/2023 08:21

One of ours favourites is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc too. We like Vinho Verde, Cotes de Gascogne and Sancerre.

Edited

Sancerre is a Sauvignon Blanc.

moderationincludingmoderation · 30/08/2023 13:47

Muscadet is always a safe bet

PurBal · 30/08/2023 14:51

@Hobbi yes, but the OP said she likes Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Sancerre is in France. As other people have said: same grape, different region, different flavour. I don’t like Chilean Sauvignon Blanc even though it’s the same grape variety.

rumnraisinrocks · 24/11/2023 09:52

NZ sauvignon is my go to wine as well but I got bored of it a while ago so went looking for something else. I really like an albarino. Gavi is nice too

FiveShelties · 24/11/2023 09:58

You need to try a Hawke's Bay Sauv. Completely different to the South Island Sauv. But I do live in Hawke's Bay so may be a little biased. 🍷

Edited for spelling

CurlewKate · 24/11/2023 10:01

Picpoul is my current favorite. Aldi have a good one.
