Slope Cellars

For the January edition of A Case Study, Slopey’s monthly wine club, we played with the idea of ‘Dry January’: dry wines made from grapes usually associated with sweet wines.

‘Sweet’ and ‘Dry’ may be the most commonly used wine adjectives out there, but also the most misunderstood. Our Study delved into the many other factors that go into how our palates register ‘dryness’—acidity, tannins, carbonation, alcohol content, the age of the wine, and even the temperature at which is served—and come together in a chorus.

If you think all Rieslings are sweet, or that Tokaj are just exquisite dessert wines, or that Port is great for Christmas, think again. Those grapes, though they make beautiful sweet wines, actually have a huge range when vinified dry.

The Hölzchen Kabinett trocken AP-21 included in the Case Study is an exclusive due to very limited quantities, but there’s still time to snag a few bottles and get our insights onto how to make Dry January more fun.
