Tasting: Heinz Eifel Shine Rieslijng


Variety: Riesling
Region: N/A
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95


Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "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: The white Rieseling was rather forgettable in my opinion. It had a floral aroma that smelled of pears and watermelon. This wine was very, very sweet which really turned me off. I do like sweet wines but I thought this one was a little over-the-top on its sweetness, and I know if I drank a glass or more of it I would get a headache from all the sugar and sweetness. It was much less dryer than the prior two wines which was nice but I was not a huge fan of this sweet Riesling.
