Blue Fish Original Riesling – A Good Catch

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: May 13, 2020

Dry, inexpensive and quite tasty, the Blue Fish Original Riesling.

Blue Fish Riesling - A Good Catch

100% Riesling from Pfalz, Germany. The wine has 8.6 g/L of residual sugar and is vegan friendly.

Sample submitted for review. The Blue Fish Original Riesling has an SRP of $10 and is available for as low as $8. Ready to buy? Check your local retailers. It is imported by Palm Bay International.

From the bottle:

A little over 60 years ago, enterprising growers in western Germany’s Pfalz region, joined together to stat crafting and selling their wines. Today, over 460 families participate in this venture, of which Blue Fish is the highest quality wine produced. Smooth and harmonious, this Riesling bursts with alluring aromas and flavors of fresh apricots and ripe peaches. It is a fine match with fish dishes, pastas and Asian-inspired cuisine.

12.5% Alcohol

The 2018 Blue Fish Riesling opens with a pleasing aroma of lemon, lime, peach, perfumed floral notes and maybe just a hint of petrol.

Tasting reveals flavors of apricot, peach and apple plus lively acidity and even a bit of minerality in this quite refreshing wine. The fruit turns tropical on the medium length, mostly dry finish. This is a basic but very good Riesling at a great price.

Ready to buy? Check your local retailers.
