Sole

Sole Wine Details
Price: $39.10 per bottle

Description: Sole (pronounced So-lay) is Italian for sun, which is what comes to mind when we gaze in wonder at the fully-ripe Kerner grapes from which it is made. This totally dry white is a bottle-fermented semi-sparkling wine. With its mild effervescence, vibrant acidity and bright fruit character, it complements many dishes, including fish and light meats with higher fat content. The fresh fruit flavours are a delight on the palate. But beware - it packs a punch! 14.9% alcohol.

Varietal Definition
Kerner:
Grape developed from a cross between the Riesling and Schiava Grossa grapes. The latter variety is known as the Trollinger in Germany where it is mostly grown. Used to produce a Riesling-like white wine said to often reach "Auslese" Pradikat quality.
