Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine

Variety: Riesling

Region: Mosel Valley
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 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 nose of this wine was very sweet, fruity, and floral. The taste was solid, while somewhat heavy on white grape. Overall, the body was light and delicate. This wasn't the sweetest of Rieslings I've tried, but it was still to sweet for my preferred taste. I did not pair this wine with any food.
