Additional Info

Turgowy is in the fruity, demi-sec vein of Transparente, but perhaps a tad drier. It’s not as deep, but it’s shinier, prettier, and especially more innocent, because there is in both the aromas and flavors such an unencumbered expression of apple, specifically the crunchy, bright skin of a Golden Delicious. Turgowy is totally Alpine-fresh and yummy and joyous. - Paul Wasserman
