Shop/wine critic/ winery review: Vintage Wine Cellar/ Amanda/ 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.
Your Review: This white wine had very floral smells along with a peary aroma. This was a very sweet and smooth Riesling (just like most of them). This was a good change of pace from the other two extremely dry wines that was refreshing for my palate. The only flaw with my palate when I tasted this wine was that the red before impeded the taste of the white wine from being in the same glass. The eggy taste was still lingering in my mouth when I tasted this wine, and it did not bold well when I tasted the Riesling. The sweetness was defiantly there, but I believe would have been more powerful and delectable if it wasn't mixed with the previous red wines. All in all still a very good wine even though it had to battle for smell and taste.
