M. Lawrence Detroit Sparkling Wine: Review


L. Mawby
Suttons Bay, Michigan, USA
Demi Sec
Batch #9
12% abv
$15.00 a bottle
A blend of Riesling, Traminette, Vidal and Muscat

Appearance: sparkling straw

Aroma: apple, hint of green apple,

Flavors: Honeysuckle, pear, peach, apricot, with a tart apple note on the finish.

To the Point: I thought it was okay; my wife liked it; worthy to try. 

Demi Sec means ‘half dry’.  It is sweeter than Sec but, dryer than Doux.
Here are the terms for dryness and sweetness in a wine or sparkling wine.
Brut Nature: 0–3: Extra Brut: 0–6: Brut: 0–12: Extra Dry, Extra Sec, Extra seco: 12–17: Dry, Sec, Seco: 17–32: Demi-Sec, Semi-seco: 32–50: Doux, Sweet, Dulce: 50+
The numbers represent the residual sugar per liter (measured in grams).
