Cellar for up to 6 years. Serve chilled. Charles smith has a reputation as one of washington state’s most original winemakers thanks to his maverick approach and rock n roll background. After moving to europe to manage several rock bands, he realised his interest in wine while discovering europe’s inspiring dining culture. Then in 1999 charles had a chance encounter with a winemaker in walla walla in washington state who persuaded him to make his own wine. Over the years charles has picked up a slew of accolades, including being named winemaker of the year in 2014 by wine enthusiast and the winery was named winery of the year by wine & spirits magazine in 2008. One night charles was enjoying a chinese takeaway and a kung fu movie when he was suddenly inspired to create the kung fu girl riesling as a perfect partner for asian cuisine. This vibrant dry riesling is an ideal match for spicy and aromatic dishes like pad thai or a fragrant indian curry. Crafted from 100% riesling grown in washington state, the kung fu girl riesling is aged in oak barrels for two months to add extra complexity and a soft, rich texture. On the nose there is a delicate perfume of apricots, honeysuckle, and white peaches, while the first sip brings freshness and elegance along with heady tropical fruit flavours and a clean, light finish.
