The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2024 is a wine sourced from Washington State and should be found for around $12.00.
The Story
The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2024 was a brand that originated with Charles Smith; his name is still on the bottle, but the brand is now owned by Ackley Brands.
Charles Smith has a history of creating a popular brand, establishing the wine, and then selling the brand.
The last vintage of Kung Fu Girl we reviewed was the 2020 vintage, and it was owned by Constellation Brands, but the production was a holdover from past vintages.
The brand has been sold twice more since then, though I think that is due to upheaval in wine rather than a problem with this Riesling.
The 2024 Kung Fu Girl is sourced from more than one grape-growing AVA in Washington State, which is almost wholly made up of the Columbia Valley AVA.
The 2020 vintage was a single-vineyard wine. So changes have been made. This is a dry Riesling.
The alcohol content is 12%.
The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2024 Tasting Notes
The color is pale, shiny gold. The nose is stone fruit, peach, spice, apple, pear, and lemon. The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2024 is silky and flavorful; it is an easy sipper.
This Riesling tastes like apple, nectarine, peas, and pear, a soft slap of spice, and tangerine.
The acidity is balanced and gives this Riesling decent length.
The Summary
- The Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2024 is a quality Summer Sipper.
- A tasty, easy-to-enjoy dry Riesling.
- You don’t need a Mosel (Germany) Riesling to beat the heat this summer.
