2009 Blufeld Riesling Medium Sweet

February 11, 2012 By

Did I have high expectations from a wine from an ornate bright blue bottle?  Not really.  Was I pleasantly surprised when I got a taste?  Yes.

This inexpensive German Riesling offers juicy ripe apple and floral notes on the nose that got me excited to take a first sip.  In the mouth, it’s moderately sweet with a mouthful of peach and a pleasant level of acidy to balance out the sweetness.

Pairings: Tuna sashimi, raw oysters, blackened shrimp or chicken.

Style: White

Grape Type(s): Riesling

Region: Mosel, Germany

Around $10

Value Riesling that’s both on the sweet side but has a nice level of acidity.  Typical apple nose with a honeyed flavor.

Relatively easy to find, and what you’d expect from a sweeter Mosel Riesling.  Had it paired with scallops at North Shore Bistro in Milwaukee (quite yummy by the way) and it was a nice match.

Around $10.
