Comment on this story
Riesling from Germany’s Mosel region offers a refreshing and low-alcohol option for summer. This week, we highlight Karl Kaspar’s Riesling, which not only provides great value but is also affordable. Keep a bottle chilled for those warm evenings on the patio. Additionally, we have two reds from France’s Rhone Valley, in line with last week’s theme. These wines pair perfectly with grilled or roasted meat.
Karl Kaspar Riesling Kabinett 2021
⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (2.5 stars)
This Riesling is sure to convert any skeptics. It is fruity, beautifully balanced between sweetness and acidity, with a low-alcohol content. It pairs well with spicy food, garlicky dips, grilled seafood, or almost anything. Don’t be concerned about sweetness; the key lies in the balance with the fruit and acidity. Alcohol by volume is 8 percent, and the bottle weight is 400 grams (Light). Imported by the Marchetti Co. and distributed locally by DMV Distributing.
