Vintage Wine Cellar (Mike): "Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike any other. These flavors span citrus , root ginger, white peach, spices and florals. Eco.love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style. Food Pairing: Asian Fusion, Seafood, Curry, and anything spicy."


My Review: This white Riesling was decent but rather ordinary in my opinion. It had a pungent orange-smelling aroma that opened up the taste of the wine. It also had an earthy smell which gave good contrast to the orange-like aroma. The Riesling had an oakey taste, the oak monster was out on this Riesling. It reminded me of the term "smokey" as well for some reason; like a cigar bar or hookah lounge.
