Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling


Name:  Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety:  Riesling
Region:  Pflaz
Country:  Germany
Year:  2010
Price:  $8.95
Review:  Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.
My Review:  This wine has that typical sickly sweet smell that I don’t always care for.  It tasted like a fruit medley of pear, apples, citrus, and lime.  I thought I might have been detecting a few flavors from the red wine I drank before it too, which might have contributed to this wine tasting better than I expected.  There was not any heat, and nothing was super heavy or sticking on my tongue.  It was tart rather than sickly sweet, and definitely worth trying again. 

I tried this wine without food.
