Gruet, Sauvage Zero Dosage

Region: New Mexico

Country: US

Varietal: Chardonnay

Producer: Gruet

In Brief: Possibly the driest wine we have. Imagine scorching hot sand on a windy day in the desert and you catch a hint of lemon along the breeze. That is this wine. So freakin' delicious we can't get over it. There was also zero dosage (the secondary addition of sugar in the traditional Champagne Method) which causes this wine to be sharp and, frankly, flawless.
