Abrau Durso Semi-Sweet White hails from the prestigious Abrau-Durso winery, established in 1870 by decree of Emperor Alexander II on the picturesque shores of Lake Abrau in Russia's Krasnodar region. With over 150 years of winemaking heritage, Abrau-Durso is renowned for producing world-class sparkling wines, often incorporating classic French methods like Charmat and traditional bottle fermentation.
This particular Semi-Sweet White is crafted from a harmonious blend of classic grape varieties, often including Chardonnay and Riesling, selected for their aromatic qualities and natural fruit sweetness. On the nose, it presents inviting aromas rich in hints of ripe orchard fruits like pear and apple, with delicate floral undertones. The palate is fresh, invigorating, and wonderfully harmonious, with a vibrant acidity that is perfectly balanced by its natural sweetness. Expect a lively effervescence with a beautiful play of small, stable bubbles, leading to a clean, fruity, and pleasantly aromatic finish. The 11.5% ABV is perfectly integrated, ensuring a refreshing yet elegantly sweet sparkling experience.
The standard 750ml bottle is ideal for celebrating milestones, toasting special moments, or simply enjoying as a refined indulgence. Abrau Durso Semi-Sweet White is exceptionally versatile, pairing beautifully as an aperitif, or with light desserts such as fruit tarts, panettone, and pastries. It also complements light creamy cheeses or can be enjoyed simply on its own. Serve well chilled at 6-8°C to fully appreciate its lively character and refreshing qualities.
