The selection consists of \u003cstrong data-start=\"167\" data-end=\"188\"\u003esingle-varietal wines\u003c\/strong\u003e , allowing you to focus on grape characteristics by the glass, without the influence of blends. By tasting the same grapes from different countries and styles side by side, you'll discover how origin, climate, and wine tradition influence aroma, flavor, and structure. The box is designed for students pursuing WSET Level 2 or SDIN and is also ideal for wine enthusiasts who want to deepen their tasting skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"651\"\u003e Purpose and theme of this practice box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eThe goal of this box is to learn how the same grape can express itself differently in the Old and New World. You'll practice recognizing differences in ripeness, aroma intensity, and structure, and learn to connect these to origin and style. This aligns directly with WSET Level 2, where understanding regional and stylistic differences is a key component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e How can you use this box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1671\"\u003e This box lends itself well to blind tastings in pairs. For example, taste two Chardonnays side by side first, then compare two Sauvignon Blancs and two Syrahs. By tasting first without prior knowledge and only then considering the origin, you train yourself to reason based on what you observe in the glass. Another effective approach is to taste in two rounds: first comparing grape varieties and then continent-by-continent, so you learn to recognize patterns. By maintaining the same tasting order in your notes for each wine, it becomes easier to spot differences and similarities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1706\"\u003eBackground information per wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1806\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1738\"\u003ed'Astruc Limoux Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003e Region: Limoux, Languedoc.\u003cbr data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1788\"\u003e Grape: Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1906\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003eNoble Vines 446 Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003e Country: United States.\u003cbr data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"1867\"\u003e Region: California.\u003cbr data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"1888\"\u003e Grape: Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1908\" data-end=\"2009\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1908\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eEsk Valley Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1938\" data-end=\"1941\"\u003e Country: New Zealand.\u003cbr data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003e Region: Hawke's Bay.\u003cbr data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"1986\"\u003e Grape: Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2135\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2052\"\u003eGibault Touraine Chenonceaux Le Graal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2055\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003e Region: Touraine Chenonceaux, Loire.\u003cbr data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2112\"\u003e Grape: Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2137\" data-end=\"2164\"\u003eLa Grange Terroir Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2167\"\u003e Country: France.\u003cbr data-start=\"2183\" data-end=\"2186\"\u003e Region: Languedoc.\u003cbr data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2206\"\u003e Grape: Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2314\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2253\"\u003eLangmeil Valley Floor Shiraz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2256\"\u003e Country: Australia.\u003cbr data-start=\"2272\" data-end=\"2275\"\u003e Region: Barossa Valley.\u003cbr data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2300\"\u003e Grape: Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2316\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003e Working with the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2870\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wsetglobal.com\/nl\/dutch-qualifications\/level-2-award-in-wines-nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"WSET Level 2 Award in Wines\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWSET Systematic Approach to Tasting\u003c\/a\u003e helps you evaluate wines in a structured and objective way.
