Description: This exquisite, well balanced Riesling has a fruity bouquet with flavors of apricot and peach. Perfect accompaniment to light meals, desserts or simply on its own.
Online Review: "Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of light petrol and tangerine, brettanomyces, candied grapefruit, and soft green herbs with a silky, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a snappy finish with overtones of canned pineapple, dried kiwi, thai basil, and apple juice and grapefruit. A fresh German Riesling that lingers on the palate and washes the day away."
Wine Folly: On page 158, it mentions that Germany is the most important producer of Riesling in the world.
On page 158-159, it lists the primary tasting notes as white cherry, green apple, apricot, lemon, and honeysuckle.
My Review: As a white wine, I was hesitant to try this. I don't normally like white wine because I don't like dry wine and prefer sweet. However, this wine shocked me and I really enjoyed it. The tasting notes were apricot and peach which tasted very accurate. This wine was not super strong or dry, but still had a distinct flavor. I enjoyed this wine with sharp white cheddar cheese and I think they paired well together. The flavor of the wine was brought out by the cheese pairing. This wine was recommended by a friend and it was a great choice. I would drink this wine again!
