Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling - 2017 - Hvidvin - Den Sidste Flaske
En fantastisk mosel-inspireret amerikansk og super saftig riesling. Den har sødme og en frisk syre. Jeg har drukket Charles Smith vine I en del år efterhånden og først for nylig begyndt at forhandle dem! De er fantastiske :-) Vinen er 100% riesling fra Evergreen Vineyard i Columbia, Washington State. Det er selveste Charles Smith som op til flere gange er udnævnt Winemaker of the year.
En speciel fyr. Han minder mest af alt om en der spiller i rockband, men trods hans spændende karakter er han MEGET grundig i sin tilgang til vinproduktion. Kung Fu Girl sparkede virkelig igennem her i DK da nogle af top sushi-kæderne begyndte at tage den ind. Nu har den virkelig fået sit særpræg som en riesling man bare skal kende.
Pris varierer - men i enkeltkøb ligger disse flasker til 125-150kr stykket. Så dagens vin - er til en super pris! :-)
Ha' en skøn søndag,
Mvh,Tobias

Current & Past Scores90 points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate“Clean, fresh and incredibly pure, the 2013 Charles Smith Riesling Kung Fu Girl is shockingly good given the price (and the volume, as they produce a massive amount of this cuvee). Lychee, citrus, mint and classic minerality all show here, and it’s medium-bodied, beautifully balanced and finishes cleanly, with perfectly integrated acidity and only subtle sweetness. Enjoy this rock star effort over the coming year or two.”Top 100 Wines of 2013, 90 points & Best Value Four Years in a Row, Wine Spectator (2012 vintage)“Lovely, expressive, bright and vibrant, with apple, lime and citrus blossom flavors, persisting enticingly as the off-dry finish lingers against natural acidity.”
91 points & “Best Buy,” Wine Enthusiast (2012 vintage)“Kung Fu Girl has become an iconic Riesling on the strength of its instantly recognizable label, and surpassing quality. It rests comfortably on the fence between dry and off-dry, and is a bulls-eye rendition of Washington Riesling. A dense mix of citrus, apple and tree fruits, enhanced with skin textures and finishing with highlights of honey and tea, this is flat out delicious.”
