Varietal
Pronounce it: vah-ry-a-tal
If a wine is made wholly or principally from one grape variety, eg pinot noir, it's known as a varietal. As vintners and consumers have become aware of the characteristics of individual varieties of wine grapes, wines have also come to be identified by varietal names.
Varietal wines are made primarily from a single variety of grape, and identify this variety on the label.
