Yes that's the culpri.....I mean winemaker.

It's not the sweetness as such because I dare say that my fav Saint Clair's have some sweetness but they have the fruit to overpower it. This is just sweet and simple.

Like Prosecco.

I am baffled at Ba for liking this as the Lindauers are on a different planet.

Sainsbury have a lightly sparkling MSB made by Vavasour. £8.99

"Complement" the style, would be better G.

This is why we start with good Vouvray and then travel further south :)

I do think Chenin and Sémillon and certain Pinot blanc have the right texture and body to carry the demi-sec styles with elegance. Then there is noble rot and the ice wines to savour with pleasure. And....then there are the off dry Rieslings.

Of the few Prosecco sparklers I've had, the mature (old & tired) upscale ones, are so dry, as to be puckering in the mouth and de-hydrating after a few - not nice. Dare I say this G ? But I believe that the less dry Proseccos could be more interesting.

I do like both in their own way. Tried the Lindauer MSBubbly when WR had it on offer - not impressed.
