Winery Review

This wine’s light, airy mouthfeel belies its sweetness and intensity of flavor. Honeyed pineapple aromas; similar flavors on the palate, adding gentle citrus notes toward the long, sweet finish.


My Review
The first thing I noticed about this wine was that it did not come in the typical blue Riesling bottle that I have come to expect from Rieslings. The nose was incredibly pleasant lending itself to strong floral scents and delicious tropical fruit smells underlying. It may be a by product of tasting the last wine, however upon tasting this particular Riesling the flavor I was greeted with was vomit and stomach bile. I actually began to feel sick upon tasting this wine and it did not offer and relief from the flavor in its sweetness. This is the most disappointing Riesling I have tried to date. I would not recommend it, however try at your own risk. 


I did not eat food with this wine.
