Tasting -Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $10

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: I find this wine light and refreshing and crisp. The dominant flavor in my opinion is a granny smith apple. I had this with my wine dinner the week prior and found that it paired nicely with my gnocchi dish and my salad. It seemed to make every flavor more outstanding.

I tasted this with and without food.
