Wine review: Light-bodied slightly sweet white wine; medium pale slightly greenish yellow. Inviting fresh white peach aroma and flavors. Easy to drink, not complicated, very pleasant, and flavors develop in the glass. Food pairing: Compliments a wide variety of light foods from fish to fowl and even spicy Asian cuisine. Also, enjoy on its own.
My review: I really enjoyed this Riesling; I would rank in 8.5 out of 10. It was on sale from $18 to $12, and the bottle was about 2 feet long. Thus, it was a great value considering it had much more wine in the bottle than average wine bottles. The aromas were very sweet and fruity, like peaches and green apples. The flavors were very crisp, clean, and balanced. The taste was fruity and sweet but not acidic and had a nice tannin structure. I did not pair this wine with any food, but I would definitely buy it again and probably drink it with fish.
i recently enjoyed a bottle of this wine. Paid $14.99 for it in NC. I have returned home and cannot find it anywhere. Any knowledge of vendor chains or online sites that carry this wine. Must have at least 2 more bottles :)
