2005 BEX Riesling

Monday, January 14th, 2008 | Germany, Riesling, White Wine, Wines Under $20

I don’t drink a lot of Rieslings, but when I do I tend to prefer those of the drier variety. The BEX Riesling, from Germany’s Mosel region, was a good match for me. It is low-alcohol — only 10.5 %. This wine had a delicious nose of bright, crisp apple. It had a very fresh aroma. On the palate the apple notes carried through to some apple flavor along with a touch of lemon, some minerality, and nice acidity. The wine had a crip, medium-long finish.

We drank this bottle with Chinese take-out (General Tso’s chicken and Crab Rangoon). It paired well with the spiciness of the food. For the price (around $12), this is a decent dry Riesling. It was certainly enjoyable and I would recommend it.
