Shop Review: This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruity aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine.
My Review: On the initial whiff, this wine had a floral bouquet, almost a bit like dried fruit or dried roses. There was a bit of apricot smell, but the dried typed that my grandma loves to eat, and there was also a peach undertone. When I tasted it I was instantly hit with how dry it was but it I didn't overwhelm my palate like a lot of dry wines do. I think the taste was less like peaches and more like pears, along with a bit of a semi-bitter apple taste. I really enjoyed this wine.
I did not try this wine with food.
