Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling



Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95
Wine critic 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 riesling was pretty dry with a somewhat high level of acidity. This wine was very crisp and tasted of apples, pears, and peaches. Definitely very fruity and citrusy. The aroma was also delightful and smelled of lime. I enjoyed this wine and while I did not pair it with food I think it would go great with a light salad or some shellfish. Would be great as an apertif.
