Saltaren Wines B******A Riesling 2022 white

Saltaren Wines B******A Riesling 2022 is a bright, modern take on classic Rheingau Riesling, crafted for drinkers who love precision, energy and pure fruit character. This is a dry, finely etched white wine that balances vibrant acidity with ripe stone-fruit flavours, making it as refreshing on its own as it is versatile at the table. Rooted in one of Germany’s most historic Riesling regions, it offers a contemporary expression of a time-honoured style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2022 Rheingau Riesling shows a pale lemon colour with greenish highlights, signalling its youth and freshness. The nose is immediately inviting, with crisp aromas of green apple, lime zest and white peach, layered with notes of white flowers, wet slate and a subtle hint of herbs. On the palate, it is dry, tense and focused, driven by brisk acidity that carries flavours of citrus, crunchy pear, nectarine and a touch of gooseberry. The classic Rheingau minerality comes through as a saline, stony edge, giving the wine structure and length. The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering citrus and a gentle, mouth-watering grip. Enjoyable now for its vibrancy, it has the structure to develop additional complexity over the next 3–5 years, gaining more honeyed and petrol nuances with short-term cellaring.

Production
Sourced from select vineyards in the Rheingau, one of Germany’s most prestigious Riesling regions, this wine reflects a cool continental climate tempered by the Rhine River and a mix of slate, loess and quartzite soils that emphasise freshness and minerality. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to ensure healthy fruit and preserve aromatic intensity. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless-steel tanks to lock in crisp fruit character and delicate floral notes, with the wine resting on fine lees for added texture and balance before bottling.

Food & Serving
This Riesling is a natural partner for a wide range of dishes, especially those with freshness or a gentle touch of spice. Try it with sushi and sashimi, ceviche, light seafood pastas, grilled white fish, chicken salads, asparagus, and dishes featuring citrus or fresh herbs. It also works beautifully with mild soft cheeses or young goat cheese. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary, but opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving allows the aromatics to fully express themselves.
