The Starting Point Riesling 2019
From The Starting Point in China’s Ningxia, the Riesling 2019 is a refined 100% Riesling from old vineyards on sandy soils. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks, it employs natural winemaking practices, offering a lemon-green hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, refreshing white with vibrant fruit, showcasing Ningxia’s terroir.
The nose reveals green lime, peach, and chalky minerals, with hints of petrol and white flowers. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and clean, with lively acidity, subtle honey, and flavors of nectarine, slate, and a long, refreshing finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like grilled fish or creamy risotto to highlight its vibrant fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its crisp acidity and citrus notes. Ideal for elegant dinners or seafood feasts.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 10°C in a white wine glass to enhance aromas; no decanting needed. Enjoy now or cellar until 2027 for added complexity, developing richer tertiary notes. Explore our Ningxia collection for more Riesling classics.
