Changyu Riesling Dry 2022 white Wine

The Changyu Riesling Dry 2022 is a white wine made primarily from Riesling grapes, a well-known and highly regarded grape variety for producing aromatic and crisp white wines. However, specific details regarding the exact percentage of Riesling grapes in this wine and any additional grape varieties (if blended) are generally not published by the producer for every vintage. In many cases, wines labeled as "Riesling" are made from 100% Riesling grapes, especially in the case of a varietal wine.

Ingredient Details:

• Primary Grape Variety: Riesling
• Other Grapes: Not explicitly stated by the producer, so it's likely a single-variety wine (100% Riesling), but this can vary depending on the specific blend.
• Sulphites: Used as a preservative, as is common in most wines.

Wine Information:

• Vintage: 2022
• Type: Dry White Wine
• Alcohol content: Typically around 11-12% ABV, though this may vary slightly depending on the wine's production and climate conditions during the harvest.
• Taste Profile: Dry, crisp, refreshing with bright acidity. Tasting notes may include citrus fruits (lime, lemon), green apple, and floral nuances.
• Food Pairing: Pairs well with seafood, salads, poultry, and lighter dishes like sushi or Asian-inspired cuisine.

Serving Recommendations:

1. Temperature:
   • Serve chilled, around 45-50°F (7-10°C). This helps preserve the wine's crispness, vibrant acidity, and fresh fruit flavors. It is important not to over-chill the wine, as too low a temperature can mute its aromas and flavors.
2. Glassware:
   • Use a white wine glass with a tulip-shaped bowl. This type of glass allows the delicate aromas to concentrate at the top, giving the wine a better nose while allowing for some aeration and movement.
   • Avoid using too large or too wide a bowl, as Riesling benefits from a more focused glass to direct the aromas and flavors towards your palate.
3. Pouring:
   • Pour the wine to about one-third of the glass to allow the aromas to develop and the wine to breathe.

Decanting Recommendations:

• Decanting is not necessary for the Changyu Riesling Dry 2022. Riesling is typically a fresh and youthful wine that does not require decanting.
• If you want to bring out the wine’s aromas, simply allow it to breathe in the glass for a few minutes before drinking.
• Decanting is usually reserved for older Riesling wines that may benefit from exposure to air to release complex aromas, but a 2022 vintage dry Riesling will likely be best enjoyed without decanting.
