Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Reisling

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety: Reisling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: NV
Price: $9.95

Winery Review: This dryer styled Reisling 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: I am generally a big reisling fan and this is nothing that diverts from that. It has a very crisp and refreshing nose with some lemons and other citrus flavors, along with some honey. In addition to that it also smelled a little like stream water. It was very fruity on the palate but not a typical sweet Reisling. It was more like a tart apple that had a little bite but still sweet. I would like to try this wine with a Caesar Salad to see how well it compliments it.

I did not taste this wine with food.
