Not everything is as it seems in the world of wine.
Bex is a German riesling that comes from grapes grown in the Nahe Valley in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer appellation. But it is produced by the Bex Winery of California, which is not really a winery but a concept from the Purple Wine Co.
So how does a California winery make such fresh and delicious wine from German grapes? The wine is made in Germany under the direction of a company winemaker. It is fermented in stainless steel and sealed with a screw cap to maintain freshness.
It’s clean and crisp with a floral and orchard fruit bouquet and a citrus style similar to a kabinett.
Sherry: “Medium-bodied with citrus fruit flavors of pineapple, kiwi and lime.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “An apricot bouquet with flavors of pear, peach and a citrus finish.” 3 stars
Available locally for between $9 to $11.
Coming next week: St. Hallet Gamekeeper’s
