Wine Tasting – Shine Riesling

Name: Weingut Eifel-Pfeifer Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: Trittenheim, Mosel Valley, Germany
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95

Winery Review: This drier-styled Riesling is bright, fruity and floral with crisp acidity and clean flavors of apple, pear and peach that complement 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: Fruity bubbles. This wine seemed to have a bit of carbonation forced through it. I tasted apples, peaches, mango and honey as well as a surprising dirt and earth flavor. I liked the sweetness of this wine, I started to crave fresh fruit to pair with it.

With food?: I tried this wine without food.
