The selection consists of \u003cstrong data-start=\"386\" data-end=\"407\"\u003esingle-varietal wines\u003c\/strong\u003e , allowing you to fully focus on the characteristics of a single grape per glass, without the influence of blends. The wines are from recognizable regions and made in a classic style, allowing aromas, structure, and grape-typical characteristics to fully emerge. The box is intended for students studying WSET Level 2 or SDIN, but is equally suitable for wine enthusiasts who want to deepen their basic knowledge and learn to taste more consciously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"885\"\u003e Purpose and theme of this practice box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003eThe goal of this box is to build a solid tasting framework for the key grape varieties within WSET Level 2. You'll learn to recognize the differences between white and red grapes, between aromatic and restrained styles, and between light and more powerful styles. Because all wines are single-varietal, you can focus entirely on grape identification based on aroma, flavor, and structure. This aligns perfectly with the focus of Level 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003e How can you use this box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1970\"\u003eThis box is perfect for blind tasting. By first describing the appearance, nose, and palate without prior knowledge, you force yourself to really pay attention to grape characteristics. You can also group and compare the wines by color, for example, Sauvignon Blanc next to Riesling, or Pinot Noir next to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Another effective exercise is writing short tasting notes for each wine in the same fixed order, so you learn to taste consistently and better recognize differences. By only examining the grape and origin afterward, you can check whether your reasoning is sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"2005\"\u003e Background information per wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2120\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2046\"\u003eHaut Poitou Sauvion Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2049\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2068\"\u003e Region: Haut-Poitou, Loire.\u003cbr data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2097\"\u003e Grape: Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2122\" data-end=\"2228\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2122\" data-end=\"2174\"\u003eMarkus Molitor Haus Klosterberg Riesling Trocken\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2174\" data-end=\"2177\"\u003e Country: Germany.\u003cbr data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2196\"\u003e Region: Mosel.\u003cbr data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2212\"\u003e Grape: Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2230\" data-end=\"2353\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2230\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003eLe Vin Idéal Chardonnay de Limoux 2024 (AOP Limoux)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2288\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2304\" data-end=\"2307\"\u003e Region: Limoux, Languedoc.\u003cbr data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2335\"\u003e Grape: Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2451\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2391\"\u003eTiefenbrunner Merus Pinot Grigio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2394\"\u003e Country: Italy.\u003cbr data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2410\"\u003e Region: Alto Adige.\u003cbr data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003e Grape: Pinot Grigio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2552\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2492\"\u003eBlanville Grande Reserve Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2495\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2511\" data-end=\"2514\"\u003e Region: Languedoc.\u003cbr data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2534\"\u003e Grape: Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2554\" data-end=\"2649\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2554\" data-end=\"2588\"\u003eLe Bonheur Stellenbosch Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2591\"\u003e Country: South Africa.\u003cbr data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2612\"\u003e Region: Stellenbosch.\u003cbr data-start=\"2632\" data-end=\"2635\"\u003e Grape: Merlot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2651\" data-end=\"2765\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2651\" data-end=\"2697\"\u003ePaul Mas Grande Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2700\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2719\"\u003e Region: Languedoc.\u003cbr data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"2739\"\u003e Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2767\" data-end=\"2888\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2767\" data-end=\"2819\"\u003eCave de Tain Nobles Rives Crozes-Hermitage Rouge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2822\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2838\" data-end=\"2841\"\u003e Region: Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône.\u003cbr data-start=\"2872\" data-end=\"2875\"\u003e Grape: Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2890\" data-end=\"2942\"\u003e Working with the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2944\" data-end=\"3442\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wsetglobal.com\/nl\/dutch-qualifications\/level-2-award-in-wines-nl\/\" title=\"WSET Level 2 Award in Wines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWSET Systematic Approach to Tasting\u003c\/a\u003e helps you evaluate wines consistently and objectively.
