What is this wine?
Bastian Beny Riesling 2022 is a dry, mineral-driven white wine from Alsace, France, crafted by young winemaker Bastian Beny in the village of Mittelwihr. Beny is part of a new generation of low-intervention producers redefining Alsace through organic farming and precision-focused winemaking. His Riesling comes from limestone- and marl-rich soils, harvested by hand, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, and aged on fine lees in stainless steel to preserve freshness and texture.
Why get this wine?
This bottling captures the energy and clarity that make modern Alsace Riesling so compelling. Bastian Beny’s wines emphasize purity, balance, and terroir expression over opulence, delivering exceptional quality and drinkability at a modest price. The 2022 vintage—sunny yet fresh—brings beautifully ripe fruit framed by crisp acidity, resulting in a perfectly balanced, dry Riesling that’s both approachable and ageworthy.
What does this wine taste like?
Bright and focused, with aromas of lime, green apple, white peach, and crushed stone. The palate is taut and mineral, showing lively acidity and a long, saline finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2032. Serve well-chilled with shellfish, sushi, or light poultry dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with goat cheese or Alsatian tarte flambée.
