Medium Sweet Wine - sweeten the life

Find out more about Medium Sweet Wine - sweeten the life

Medium sweet wines are more than just companions and solo entertainers. They're real playmates. They bring sweetness to the palate, fruit into play, joy into the day. Exciting and pleasing at the same time, medium sweet wines are by no means sticky and sugary wines, but high-quality and playful wines whose production is anything but simple. Making the grapes ripen, absorbing every single ray of sunshine into the fruit and finding the ideal balance in the wine cellar demands a lot from the winegrower. Let's reward this quality work by sometimes reaching for sweet wine.

How sweetness gets into the wine

As long as the grapes ripen on the vine, they produce their own sugar. This is converted into alcohol during fermentation by added yeast. The longer this process takes, the drier a wine becomes. Some grapes have such large sugar reserves that the yeast is used up before the sugar has completely disappeared. In addition, the winegrower can separate the yeast from the must by filtration. Thus it has a direct influence on the residual sugar content, which ultimately determines the taste of the wine. If the process is finished early, a wine has a lot of residual sugar. If the value lies between 18 and 45 grams per liter, the wine is described as medium sweet. Whether white wine or red wine. However, red and white wines with the same residual sugar content express themselves differently, since the tannins in the red wine neutralize the sweetness somewhat. For a sweet red wine with a noticeable sweetness you should therefore choose a wine with a high residual sugar content.
