Shop Review: "This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine."
My Review: The color of this wine seemed pink but this was probably due to the previous red wine in my glass. It smelled like flowers, lavender specifically. It seemed as if there were a strong alcohol content. There was a nice amount of bubbles - it was only slightly bubbly. I sensed a sort of gasoline aftertaste that was particularly acidic. It was light on the tongue with a slightly weird finish, but it was still pretty good. It was an interesting experience tasting this wine, but I would like to one day try it with food. Was not paired with any food.
