Shop/wine critic/winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Mike/ Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike any other. These flavors span citrus , root ginger, white peach, spices and florals. Eco.love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style. Food Pairing: Asian Fusion, Seafood, Curry, and anything spicy.
Your Review: This Riesling was not my favorite, but surprisingly had a orangey scent to it. When this white wine hit my palate it was smothered by a smokey, earthy, and oakey taste that eliminated any fruity or notable flavor that makes a wine appealing. I don't know if this is a case of the oak monster, but this wine tasted like I put a piece of bark in my month. I was defiantly not a fan of this wine.
