The Starting Point Riesling 2021
From The Starting Point in China’s Ningxia, the Riesling 2021 is a refined 100% Riesling from old vineyards on sandy soils. Gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, it employs organic and natural winemaking practices, offering a lemon-green hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A crisp, vibrant white with lively fruit, showcasing Ningxia’s terroir.
The nose reveals green lime, peach, and chalky minerals, with hints of white flowers and subtle petrol. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and refreshing, with lively acidity, notes of nectarine, honey, and a long, clean 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 2029 for added complexity, developing richer tertiary notes. Explore our Ningxia collection for more Riesling classics.
