Wine review: Urban Riesling is a contemporary wine with traditional roots. The best grapes available from our neighbors' vineyards are selected to produce a wine which reflects the authentic taste profile of top quality Mosel Riesling; racy and spritzy with ripe aromas, smoky and floral in the nose, with brilliant fruit and the typical Mosel slate minerality. Delicious on its own, or a perfect accompaniment to light or spicy dishes, Urban Riesling is a sensory delight.
My review: This is definitely my favorite white wine that I have tasted so far; I rank it a 9 out of 10. It had very appealing aromas of florals and fruits, mostly dominated by pears. It also tasted sweet and fruity with a crisp finish, as the typical Riesling does. I first paired the wine with fried raviolis, asparagus, and pasta which worked very well. Then I tried the wine again a couple of days later on its own and it had matured to taste even better than the first time. The scents and flavors were more accentuated, yet it was still sweet, not acidic, and did not have much heat (9% alcohol). The bottle has a screw top instead of a cork, which may be one of the reasons why it held up so nicely after some time. I will definitely drink this wine again.
