Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling


Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95
Wine Critic Review: This drier-styled Riesling is bright, fruity, and floral with crisp acidity and clean flavors of apple, pear, and peach that compliment 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: This wine had a sweeter nose that tasted like honeysuckle.  It was very crisp, pleasant, and sweet but not overpowering.  It tasted like light peach, sweet berries, raspberries and sweet, overripe fruit.  I really enjoyed this dessert wine.
