Tasting - Kung Fu Girl Reisling

 Wine: Kung Fu Girl Riesling

$11.20 at food lion

Year: 2021

Location: Washington State

Color: pale yellow, silvery glints

Smell: pineapple, lemon

Taste: juicy, slightly bitter like underripe fruit. Not dry, medium sweet, lemon/lime rind aftertaste, maybe some grapefruit as well.

General notes: This had the most significant difference in taste and smell that I have had while taking detailed tasting notes - expected sweeter, more tropical flavors, and instead got this kind of unpleasantly bitter flavor. Interesting that the two senses could be so different. Probably wouldn't buy again; it was cheap and some interesting stuff going on but there are far better Rieslings out there in my price range.


Wine Folly lists lime, apple, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum as common notes. Personally only picked up the fruits, and wasn't looking hard enough to pull jasmine or beeswax out of my ass.
