This is made in a juicy, fruit-forward style with a dash of residual sugar that serves to brighten the fruit without coming off as sticky or overdone. In a tasting room, this will win over a lot of people to the possibility that they might like something that’s just a touch off-dry. This is a perfect summer sip on a balmy day.
