Xmas was so much fun, and I had the oportunity to try out a lot of wines, Cavas and Cremants during the xmas break. There was a lot of different wines, but not so many glasses of wine. Every wine I bought was as great as I hoped them to be too. I wrote about them in this post. I also wrote about some bubbles I ordered extra for my family here.
As you can see I really love riesling. I love that it's not that complexed, and I don't get red on my shirt and teeth as I always gets when I'm drinking red wines. But I always have some red wine in my cellar (or a wardrobe as it really is) anyways.
Jean Geiler Riesling Terroirs d´Alluvions
It's a riesling from France (Alsace) and it's described as young and fresh, a little bit seasoned and taste of flowers, but also citrus and herbs. Some minerals. This is just how I like my wines. Herbs are the only thing that can make me dislike it. But I'm looking forward to try it and it's rated 3,9 on Vivino and a 79% match with my taste on the app.
Urban Riesling St Urbans Hoff
Have I written about this wine before and I always order it because it's cheep and it's amazing to drink at parties. This is the one wine I always have in my cellar.
Kruger Rumpf Schiefer Riesling Trocken
Have I never tried, but Kruger Rumpf is my favorite producer. If I have to recommend one wine, of all wines, it would be Kruger Rumpf Im Pittersberg.
But Schiefer is a dry wine, fresh and fruity. Some taste of flower, apple and citrus. It's from Germany (Nahe) and it's rated 3,9 on Vivino and it's a 83% match with my taste on the same app.
Karthauserhof Bruno Riesling Dry
This wine have I heard about from so many wine entusiasts. It's produced in Mosel, Germany, an area I really love the wines from. It's rated 4,0 on Vivino with a 90% match with my taste on the same app. It's a dry wine, with a lot of great acid. It's fruity and fresh.
Ricossa Barbera Appassimento
This may be the wine with most sugar in it, 14,6% . I actually didn't think about that when I ordered it because it's rated at 4,1 on the Vivino app and matches my tast with 85% on the same app. It's easy to get a little blind on these numbers. But I have seen that a lot of wines with a lot of suger is better rated on the app, than the dry ones.
But Ricossa is a Barbera from Pimonte in Italy, and it's a highly recommended area to order wines from. It's low on tannins (the dry taste) and that means I have to drink it soon. The more tannins it has, the longer can you store it in your cellar. The wine have a sweet taste of red berries, herbs, dry and a little bit worm aftertaste.
I want to add that red wines with low tannins is maybe those I recommend people who wants to like red wine, but doesn't know where to start.
A friend of mine is turning 30 this year, and she really love wines and I want to buy her some great champagne or a Barolo (red wine). I haven't decided what kind yet, because I was also thinking about giving her a wine giftcard on a wine tasting course.
If you know of any great champagne or Barolo I would love to know!
Do you have any wines you want to recommend me?
Thank you for reading!
