Guide to Dry White Wines
Crisp, refreshing, and incredibly versatile, dry white wines are beloved for their bright acidity and clean flavors. Whether you prefer zesty citrus notes, floral aromas, or a mineral-driven finish, there’s a dry white wine to suit every taste and occasion.
What Makes a White Wine “Dry”?
A dry wine means it contains little to no residual sugar, resulting in a crisp and refreshing taste rather than a sweet one. The dryness level depends on the grape variety, fermentation process, and winemaking style.
