Semi-Sweet Wine: Gently Sweet, Fruity & Perfectly Balanced

Popular Semi-Sweet Wine Styles

Moscato is the most loved semi sweet wine of all. Light, often lightly fizzy, and low in alcohol, it brims with peach, orange blossom, and ripe grape flavours. It is the ultimate easy drinking crowd pleaser.

Riesling in its medium style is a wine lover's favourite. A little sweetness balanced by zippy acidity gives flavours of lime, green apple, and citrus, with a refreshing finish that keeps you coming back. Our semi sweet white wines are full of beautiful examples.

Gewürztraminer brings exotic aromatics to the semi sweet category, with lychee, rose petal, and spice. Its gentle sweetness makes it especially food friendly.

The category also includes gently sweet reds like Lambrusco, along with a selection of soft, fruity rosés, giving you plenty of options whatever your preference.

How to Serve Semi-Sweet Wines

Semi sweet wines are best served well chilled, around 7 to 10 degrees Celsius. A good chill keeps the sweetness balanced and the wine tasting crisp and fresh. Lighter, fizzy styles like Moscato can be served even colder, straight from the fridge. The cooler the wine, the more refreshing that gentle sweetness becomes.

Food Pairing Ideas

The gentle sweetness of these wines makes them some of the most food friendly bottles around. Their best trick is taming spice, which is why a chilled semi sweet white is perfect alongside Thai, Indian, Chinese, and other boldly spiced cuisines. The sweetness cools the heat while the fruit lifts the flavours.

They are also lovely with fresh salads, light cheeses, and fruit based desserts. And for an easy afternoon, a glass of semi sweet Moscato or Riesling needs nothing more than good company and a sunny spot.
