Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Crafted in the well-respected Rheinhessen region of Germany, this quality Riesling is crisp, clean, and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine."
My Review: Let me begin the review by saying that I love the shape of the German Riesling bottles! They are so very interesting! To be honest, though. There wasn't much of an aroma to the wine. It was fresh and crisp smelling I suppose, like the review says, but there wasn't anything layered or extra ordinary about the aroma. The taste of this wine was pretty good, though! The amount of acidity in the wine made it feel almost sparkling and bubbly like a champagne which I thought was interesting. It was very sweet and light and would make a great table wine, which is probably why I liked it alone without food.
This tasting was made at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
