Winery Review

Punchy lime and lemon mark this off-dry Riesling with a staccato rhythm, adding edge to honeyed tones of peach and honeysuckle. Exceptionally priced, it’s satisfying and elegant.

My Review
Right off the bat this wine smelled incredibly sweet. I knew that this was going to be one that I was going to like as the sweet wines are my thing. It had a strong citrus scent that finished nicely with a bit of a floral note. It also had that sweet almost honey smell to it. The flavor was as sweet as expected, however the aftertaste was sour and bitter which was completely unforeseen. I did still enjoy this wine even with the bitterness of the aftertaste.

I did not eat food with this wine.
