Tangerine, mandarin and pear. Palate has some sweetness which masquerades as concentration but the underlying material is pretty thin. Maybe better on release with a bit more freshness?

Perfumed bouquet with pear, litchi and petrol. On the palate the same impressions, a firm amount of sweetness, minerals, anise and beautiful acidity. Overall a delicate wine with beautiful freshness.

It's been a while since I drank it. Remember it as rather flat and uninspiring. Some citrus refreshing notes but short and not really in the wine but as an add-on flavor sent with as a taste sample. Cool name and nice looking label.

An interesting wine. Has aromas of honeyed lightly irony petrolly stone fruits and elderflower. Its medium bodied spherical luscious off dry palate has delicious white fruits. Ends mediumish and fresh. 12%.

Subtle Petroleum, lemon, white flower notes on the nose. A little stone fruit and subtle effervescence on the palate. Off-dry and definitely in an easy drinking style.

Appearance:The wine is Clear with a Pale lemon colour. Nose:The nose is Clean and Developing, showing Medium intensity primary aromas of lemon, lime and secondary aromas of flint and smoke. Palate:The wine is Dry in the mouth with a High level of acidity. It has a Medium Level of alcohol (12%). It has Medium body and Medium(+) intensity primary flavours of lemon, lime and secondary flavours of flint and smoke. The finish is Medium. Conclusion:This is a very good quality wine. This wine has some interesting secondary character in addition to the more obvious fruit character. The wine has the structure to allow some ageing and for the wine to develop interesting tertiary character. It has good intensity of aroma/flavour and a good balance between fruit, acidity and alcohol with none of these components sticking out. The wine has a good length finish but still lacks some complexity and length to be considered more than very good. Can Drink Now but has Potential for Aging. This has the structure for limited aging (3-5 years) to allow the wine to develop some tertiary character.

Nose: Green apple, white flower, light petroleum jelly. Shy projection.
Mouth: Green apple and light key lime dance across the palate. Light, effervescent acid follows up, leaving the lime and a light ginger finish that's mouthwatering and clean.
Overall: Overall innocuous and certainly on the lighter end of the spectrum - Very drinkable, solid balance between its light body, light sugar, and light acid. Friendly and well put together. 100% Riesling.

Very intense flavour. Sweet on the nose, with apricot, citrus, and minerals with a slightly oily taste. Very easy drinking, and paired well with Thai food.

Medium bodied, off-dry, very fruity without riesling typicity, showing some lime with loads of tropical fruit. Despite decent acidity it leaves a slightly flabby and unfocused impression. Just not my style of riesling. Had a glass at Birgitta.

Offers terrific notes of apricots, lemon-lime, green apples, and fresh baked tart in a crisp, streamlined, and balanced wine. The usual whiffs of petrol and saline hang in the background. Always dependable and consistently delivers for the price.

Its true the aromas are a bit closed with some petrol, white stone fruits and mineral hints. Its medium bodied spherical and elegant white stone fruits palate has good acids and nice mineral hints. Ends medium long and fresh. 12%.

White peach and fuji apple nose, this is a bit fatter and more Alsatian in style than I expected. Doesn't lack energy or freshness, but there's a lot of power in these bottles. Good as an aperitif, but even better with food.

Beau fruit, une belle intégration du sucre résiduel. Un bel accompagnement pour les sushis ! Le lendemain, les notes pétrolés sont un peu plus présent et le vin présente une belle rondeur que je n'avais pas identifié la veille. Faut pas bouder son plaisir comme on dit! RQP ***

A household staple in the Pacific Northwest, Kung Fu Girl Riesling is crafted from sustainably farmed grapes grown in Washington State’s newest AVA, Ancient Lakes. On opening, vivid aromas of white peach, pear, lemongrass, and lemon drop lead into a wine with peppy acidity that adds lift to a white-fruited core. There's nice length on the finish as well, a burst of pleasant white grapefruit and lemon pith bitterness. Pair it with Thai cuisine. 1.4% RS, 12.0% ABV | Sample

Basically the same as the previous vintage. Very light yellow, light plus body. Lemon, pineapple, white grape juice, plus some trace of menthol. Sweet, a bit sparkling character, finishes with pleasant light bitterness.

When it’s on sale ... we’re buying!
Not too sweet and goes great with spicy 🌶 Chinese food!
