Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Name:  Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety:  Riesling
Region:  Rhine
Country:  Germany
Year:  2012
Price:  $9.95

Winery 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:  In the wine glass this Riesling was yellow.  It had a strong smell of lemon and grass.  On the palate it was very light and refreshing.  It tasted of lemons and pears. I enjoyed this Riesling, especially because it wasn't extremely sweet.

I did not drink this wine with food.
