Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling



Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Country: Germany
Region: N/A
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95

Wine Shop Review: This drier-styled Riesling is bright, fruity and floral with crisp acidity and clean flavors of apple, pear and peach that complement 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: I really enjoyed this Riesling. It was slightly sparkling, and had a very nice apple and pear nose. It was floral, but I believed that the nose was still somewhat closed. I liked that this version was slightly drier, but still had a good level of sweetness to it. There were nice peach flavors, with an excellent hint of ginger on the finish. I really liked this wine, and will be sure to have it again.

I did not taste this wine with food.
