critic/winery review: This drier-styled Riesling is bright, fruity and
floral with crisp acidity and clean flavors of apple, pear and peach that complement
its stony minerality and earthy complexity. It serves well as an aperitif and
matches a wide variety of foods, like lighter salad dishes, shellfish, cream
sauces and also anything with a touch of spice.
My review: It
smells like a sweet moscato with a bit of that off smell that comes with many
whites. There’s no hint of that Riesling petrol. I have no idea what wine that
reviewer tasted, but this certainly isn’t dry. This is very very sweet. In fact
I’d say it would benefit greatly from being a sparkling wine to cute some of
that sweetness. I do get a bit of the minerality the review mentioned.
CONCLUSION: Wouldn’t
drink again.
Not tasted with food
