DEFINITION

Blend

Blend in wine means combining two or more different grape varieties, vineyard parcels, fermented wines or vintages to create a more balanced, complex and consistent final product. Blending is a key technique used to improve quality, enhance flavors and achieve specific wine styles.

Did you know? Châteauneuf-du-Pape in France allows for a blend of up to 18 different red and white grape varieties to create a single wine, often called the blend of all blends!
