	Varietal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Varietal wines are made primarily from a single variety of grape, and identify this variety on the label.
		New World varietal wines from newcomers like Australia and Chile have made a significant dent in traditional French export markets like the UK, and so the French are adopting varietal labeling in some cases, particularly for vin du pays.
		For example, in Oregon, wines subject to its regulation must be identified by the grape varietal from which it was made, and must contain at least 95% of that varietal.

	Consumerism \| Varietal Wine Labels \| Professional Friends of Wine
		The idea of varietal labels began to catch on with the public in the "wine boom" of the 1970s.
		The consumer embraced the varietal nomenclature, as much simpler and easier to remember and identify: a dozen or two grape types versus thousands of geographic appellations and vineyards.
		Varietal labeling is also the predominant method of identifying wine types in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, and most all other wine-producing countries of the New World.

	TMEP Section 1202.05, Varietal and Cultivar Names (Examination of Applications (BitLaw)
		Varietal or cultivar names are designations given to cultivated varieties or subspecies of live plants or agricultural seeds.
		The terms 'varietal' and 'cultivar' may have slight semantic differences but are the same for trademark purposes.
		Problems arise when trademark registration is sought for varietal names, when arbitrary varietal names are thought of as being trademarks by the public, and when terms intended as trademarks by plant breeders become generic through public use.

	Blended and Varietal Wines

	Varietal Profiles \| Professional Friends of Wine
		Varietal character, however, while somewhat predictable, is not precise; variations occur, since virtually all vines are propagated by cloning.
		The name of a particular varietal, therefore, should be considered a "surname" for vines that share a genetic history.
		Each varietal "family" may, in turn, include only a few or very many individual "sibling" clones, each with its own particular traits.

		Increasingly popular as both stand-alone varietal and blending grape, Cabernet Franc is used primarily for blending in Bordeaux, although it can rise to great heights in quality, as seen in the grand wine Cheval-Blanc.

	International Wine Club's Grape Variety - Types of Grapes
		Grape varietals are the individual types or varieties of grapes that find their way into the world's wines.
		Some of these varietal names are easily recognizable (Chardonnay Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot for examples), while others are literally unknown to average consumers and serious tasters alike.
		Conversely, in Europe, the finest wines are known primarily by geographic appellation rather than their primary varietal (although this is changing; more and more French and Italian wines from less celebrated wine producing regions are being bottled with varietal names).

	Unusual Wines - Varietals - what is a varietal
		A varietal wine has the name of just one grape variety on the label, and should contain the fermented juice of just that one grape variety.
		The tone of this article may imply that a varietal is superior to a blend, but that is not so.
		But it should be clear on the label that the wine is a blend, and thus a varietal should contain 100% of that variety.

	Cross-Varietal Blends — Reviews
		Our current enchantment with Italian varietals is in full swing at this time.
		The first is the rise of Cabernet Franc on the Central Coast (it brings the highest price per ton of fruit, next to Pinot Noir); the second is a new and exciting foray into cross-varietal blends.
		Cross-varietal blends, as we noted in the previous two articles, are blends consisting of substantial percentages of different, often unrelated, varietals.

	De Long Wine Moment » Blog Archive » Variety or Varietal?
		Pinot Noir is a grape variety, as is Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, etc. A wine that is made from a single grape variety is called a varietal wine (most wine regions require at least 85% of a single grape variety to be called a varietal but this can vary with local regulations).
		In this case the confusing reality is that varietal is the adjective that modifies the noun table.
