Many people find it a bit difficult to choose a wine that goes well with sushi – if you don’t like to drink sparkling wine or beer with sushi or just want to try something new! Fortunately there are several good wines that you can try – I personally think that this Riesling from Pfalz in Germany is a very good match 🙂

A Christmann from 2013 (ecological) gets 85 points. On the nose you find the typical Riesling notes of floral and citrus, pears and peaches. A slight hint of petrol so common for many Rieslings is also there! It is a dry wine, but as many Rieslings there is a slight sweet note of honey.

On the palate you get a crisp and almost slightly frizzy tone of lemon, pears and green apples, together with mineral notes. It has a high level of acidity, which makes it a perfect combination not only with sushi – but also other seafood and lighter fish dishes. The very floral and fruity character makes it also very good as an aperitif. 🙂

This wine is found at Systembolaget in Sweden in the normal assortment (nr 5882), for the price of 129 SEK.
