Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling




Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Variety:  Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95


Professional 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 was pretty different. The aromas in this wine were very pungent and tropical. I didn't really get all of the mineral, rocky references until I tasted it. This was a little off putting and didn't seem to blend well with the sweet tangy, citrus flavors of the wine. I tasted this without food and I can't really figure out what it would go well with.
