I want to make a really dry wine but is 'dryness' just that all of the available sugar has been fermented out or is acidity 'tartness' also a factor?
Some wines like sauvignon blanc, under-ripe fruit are part of their make up (the Champagne region is notorious for its the fact that the grapes don't ripen).
What gives the sour/dry flavour and can I do anything to promote this? Add more acid maybe?
Many thanks
