Tasting - Villa Riesling

3/15/2015

Region: Mosel 
Country: Germany
Price: $16.00
Year: 2013

Winery review: 
"Smoke and earth tones accent aromas of pressed apple on this brisk, intensely citrusy Riesling. Lemon-lime flavors are zippy and bright on the palate, but the finish falls a bit short." -  
Wine Enthusiast, 86 - 






My Review:  
The aroma of this wine was very sugary and reminded me of the smell of sugar cane. The taste was also very sweet with lemon-lime flavors, as mentioned above, but I still felt like I just ate a spoon full of sugar, This wine made my taste buds almost jump because I don't think that were ready for something so sweet. Along with the zesty limes and lemons, I also got hints of honey.  Similar to the review above, this wine did not have a bold finish, but sort of dies of as it transferred to the finish. The acidity and alcohol levels balanced and I think were almost drowned out by how sweet the wine was. 

I did not pair this wine with any food.
