Blended wines use more than one varietal during the winemaking process. One varietal will be the protagonist, while the others will add a special touch to the final outcome. Blended wines can be complex and interesting, since they pull characteristics from multiple varietals. Traditionally, wines from the old world tend to be "blends" or "cuvées", a mix of different grape varieties to favour taste as well as coloring of the wines. New world wines tend to be more oriented towards single varietals. However, the "blending" traditions of Europe have also been incorporated into some of their wines.
