Wine bottle review of wine: Aromas of honeysuckle and white flowers, juicy peach and pineapple flavors
Grape varietal characteristics: German heritage. High acidity wine- similar to levels in lemonade. Intense aromas even when ice cold. Primary fruit aromas as well as honey and flowers. Serve fridge cold. Similar to a muscat blanc. Rarely blended. Pairs well with spice. Germany top producer of riesling, followed by Australia, then USA. Washington state popular area within USA for growing Riesling.
Aroma: green apple, pineapple, citrusy scent of lemon, floral aromas as well- white tulips, and hints of honey
Taste: Medium-sweet/sweet, acidic, fruity and floral, well balanced wine. Seamless alcohol taste. Low-tannins. Few second finish, crisp and refreshing finish. Primary flavors of pineapple, pear, white-peach, green apples, and hints of honey.
My review: I found this wine to be very tasty and pleasant. It was crisp, fruity and refreshing. No taste of alcohol but was able to feel its effect. It is marked as medium sweet, but I think that it is a pretty sweet wine. However, I appreciated the body, acidity, and complexity more than some of the simpler sweet and sugary wines that I have been trying (muscadines and scuppernongs). I also found the aroma very enjoyable, floral and fruity. I think that this is a good value wine, and although sweet and easy to drink, it is also interesting and enjoyable to drink. It felt very crisp and refreshing. I will repurchase this wine.
