The Pullus Halozan takes the prize for the most dangerous white wine on the planet, and that's because it's hard to stop drinking this lower alcohol (11.5% ABV), liter-bottled Slovenian white.
Crisp and dry, aromatic, and endlessly enchanting, this blend of Welschriesling, Riesling, Chardonnay, Furmint, and Pinot Blanc exhibits enticing aromas and flavors of green apple, white peach, citrus zest, and white flowers. You're gonna' love the price too:
Ptujska Klet (Ptuj Cellar) is Slovenia's oldest continuously operating winery, with a history dating back to 1239. Based in Stajerska, just south of Austrian Styria and one of the country's premiere wine zones, their Pullus Halozan reflects the casual and joyful side of Slovenian wine culture.
If you visit the winery, you would see countless people drinking Halozan mixed with sparkling water to create a delightful and even lower-alcohol spritz. No need to do that, but I can attest that a Halozan spritz is about as refreshing a beverage as you'll ever encounter.
If you're not into "bubbly drinks," skip the sparkling water, chill this down nicely, and sip away. Like I said, it's just 11.5% ABV, AND it comes in a liter bottle, so enjoy this fresh, fruit-packed, and zesty white on sunny days.
Whether you're headed to the beach or need a wine that will please many palates, this is the one. $17.99 is such a great price for this, and I encourage you to buy more than 1 bottle while it's on deal. You'll be glad you did!
