varietals
Varietals refer to specific types of plants or fruits grown for their particular characteristics, commonly used in agriculture and horticulture. In winemaking, for example, varietals describe wines made from a single grape type, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay, each with unique flavors, aromas, and growing conditions. This term also applies to other agricultural products, indicating distinct breeds of animals or specific types of crops, each selected for its desirable traits. Understanding varietals helps consumers appreciate the diversity and quality of what they eat or drink.
