Flying Ace Wines
Flying Ace was created to tap into a growing segment of American consumers who are discovering high quality German Rieslings for the first time. Too many German wines have stogy, hard-to-pronounce, somewhat intimidating labels, which subsequently get passed up on crowded retail wine shelves, as well as the all-important restaurant wine lists. The simple, fun, but iconic Flying Ace label symbolizes a higher level of Riesling, in a non-intimidating fashion.
More than just the label, Flying Ace stands out from the cadre of cheap, overly sweet white wine brands from Germany because of its superior quality, at very competitive prices! No other Riesling brand can offer 100% Riesling, sourced from single-vineyards, with complex layers of fruit and acidity. The half dry, Kabinett and Spatlese Rieslings are all correct in their sweetness, and in their varietal characteristics. The wines maintain terrific balance at all levels, without a cloyingly sugar-sweet profile, like so many of the mass-produced competitors...many of which are only Riesling blends, at best.
Flying Ace Riesling - Silver Medal Winner - San Francisco International Wine Competition
Riesling
The Riesling is in the medium-dry range. On the nose, fresh citrus and ripe peach aromas. On the palate, golden delicious apples, ripe peaches and tangerine combine with a crisp finish to balance out the fruit. Pair with poultry dishes, salads and Asian cuisine. The 2008 vintage received the Silver Medal in the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Riesling Kabinett
The Kabinett style of Riesling is what made the Mosel famous. A classic style Kabinett should have juicy fruit flavors, light in body and alcohol, and a crisp, clean finish. Flying Ace Kabinett embodies all of these characteristics and it is a single-vineyard, value priced Riesling. Pair with light seafood dishes, salads and sushi.
Riesling Spatlese
The Spätlese is a cornucopia of orchard fruits; ripe apples, apricot, peach and pear. Rich and viscous in its fruit profile with well integrated acidity which allows the wine to finish cleanly, leaving the palate devoid of a sweet aftertaste. This is a single-vineyard Mosel Spätlese, value priced for everyday drinking. Pair with pork, turkey, spicy Thai and Indian cuisine. 8.5% Alc. 70 grams residual sugar. 6.5 grams acidity.
