Trocken

"Trocken" is a German term meaning "dry," often used in the context of wine. In winemaking, it indicates that the wine contains very little residual sugar, resulting in a taste that is not sweet. A trocken wine typically has a crisp, clean flavor with more focus on acidity and fruit nuances. It is commonly used to describe certain styles of German wines like Riesling, denoting a drier profile. Overall, "trocken" helps consumers understand that the wine will be less sweet and more mineral or tart in flavor.
