Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling



Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Country: Germany
Year: 2011
Price: $9.95

Winery review: 
This drier-styled Riesling 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 varietyof foods, like lighter salad dishes,shellfish, cream sauces and also
anything with a touch of spice.

My review: Good, not great German Riesling. This is the style that I’ve tried far more than the rest this semester and didn’t really find that this wine stood out. Good flavor or apple and peach that you often find. I didn’t think this wine was balanced well in terms of sugar and acidity, though. It felt a bit hot and syrupy for my taste.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
