Need to find a white low in acidity for a friend with a medical condition that prohibits them from consuming wine (whites) with high acid content. Reds are out.
Thanks!

California Chardonnay will be the white with the lowest acidity you can find. Wines from hot regions that have a "buttery" character are what you're looking for.

It does not have to be from a "hot region" to have the "buttery" character. This characteristic is is a result of a Malo Lactic fermentation which is produced from a malo lactic culture added to the wine. The ML culture converts the malic acid to lactic acid and produces other compounds that give the buttery taste. Therefore wines from any region can go through this process.
