Tasting - R Wines Eco. Love Riesling

Name: R Wines Eco. Love Riesling
Variety: Riesling

Region:South Island
Country: New Zealand

Year: 2009
Price:
$ 7.95 (On-Sale)


Winery Review: 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: The nose of this wine was hot and rubbery. There were heavy scents of spices from this Riesling, which to me was indicative of how various regions flavor their wines differently. To my liking, this Riesling was not overly sweet like most. It was very spicy and has a nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. It was also somewhat "musty" and contained a long finish. I did not pair this wine with any food.
