Balance

Off-Dry & Semi-Sweet White

Perceived sweetness from residual sugar, balanced by high acidity.

Off-dry whites balance a hint of sugar with refreshing acidity - a style misunderstood by many, yet superb with spicy food.

Nothing beats an off-dry Riesling or Chenin Blanc with a well-curried evening meal.
