Im looking for a sweet dry wine...?

Question

any suggestions?

Answer 1

the more dry it is, the lower the sugar content. they also stated that if you're looking for a slightly sweeter wine ask for one with a 'good fruit'

Zinfandel -- A light to robust wine known for its versatility. Made in red or white varieties (white Zinfandels, which are lighter, fruitier and often off-dry are made by separating the grape's white juice from its red skin), Zinfandels are high in alcohol content. Similar to Italian Primitivo, these wines go well with soups, pasta, pizza, barbecued meats, leg of lamb, cheeses and chocolate desserts.

Chablis -- A dry, white burgundy table wine made in France. It is made by blending a variety of white grapes and goes well with seafood or turkey.

Dessert Wines -- These golden wines are made from grapes deliberately left on the vine past harvest, which allows the sun to dry them out and concentrate the sugar in them. Dessert wines are sweet and light and go best with fruit or dessert cheeses.

Merlot -- A dry, red wine known for it's dark, rich, velvety flavor. Similar to French Bordeaux, Merlot goes well with turkey, pork loin, beef and meat stews.

Pinot Noir -- Described as delicate, rich and intense, this red wine is actually made from black grapes with low sugar content but high acidity. Known for its versatility, Pinot Noir goes well with lamb, grilled sausages, roasted chicken or duck, pork, game birds and pasta.

Answer 2

Doesn't exist! Sweet and dry are at two opposite ends of the sugar scale for wine. A dry wine has a sugar code of 0 or 1 where as a sweet wine has a sugar code of 10 plus.

Answer 3

Some people that have answered pointed out that dry and sweet are opposite in wines.

While strictly true, maybe what you are looking for is a relatively high alcohol wine. The higher alcohol will "trick" your taste into thinking the wine is slightly sweet, when it is actually the alcohol, since alcohol and sugars are chemically similar. Recent California vintages have been trending in this direction. Anything over 15% should be what you're looking for.

Answer 4

Good luck trying, as "sweet" is the opposite of "dry" and therefore a "sweet dry wine" is impossible, a contradiction in terms. Might you be meaning a "very fruity dry wine"?? If so: red, white or rose?

Answer 5

No can do. But if you're looking for something interesting for a party, check out the wines from Francis Ford Coppola's vineyards or those from the Shaffer vineyards. The quality is excellent and you can have some interesting conversations about them.

Answer 6

Try a DRY resiling. Also you can try some California Pinot Niors. BUT the combo SWEET and DRY, well arent great match. However if you want white, go with above Dry Reisling. If you want red, try Cali Pinot noir

Answer 7

In wine, sweet and dry are opposites.

Answer 8

Try some true German reislings - Reuscher Haart has a good one that's sweet at first, but gets citrusy on the finish. Good luck to you. : )

Answer 9

The wine is called "Mead". Very good

Answer 10

Try Macedonian wines, they are very fine.
