I discovered this divine rose at Winex in October. Bought a case of this and the La Capra Sauvignon Blanc. Stunning wines at great prices!

Would you consider this an off dry wine? I see the res sugar is 3.1 as opposed to the Sauvignon Blanc, which is 2. something. We often drink the S.B. and really enjoy this great wine with a FUN label!

Hi Lilla,
Generally, this would still be considered a dry wine, with 5mg/l a guideline for this description. The degree to which a wine is perceived as dry can also be influenced by other flavour compounds and the alcohol content. But this rosé is crisp and fresh and would definitely fall into the ‘dry’ descriptive.
