Smart booze! Off dry

I didn't anticipate off-dry. Still, their Semillon is 10 times more complex. There's not nearly enough acidity to offset the sweetness of this Chenin. Disappointing.

Oh yeah. Lots of poached pear & apricot, zingy acidity. What fun!

One of my favorite BIO-D wineries out of NZ that never fails to surprise. Full of goopy golden pears, canned pineapple, and honeyed apricots. Lusciously sweet, and weighty at 14% abv. Watch out, this wine will revolutionize your Thai BYOB night.
