Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety: Riesling
Region: Mosel/ Rheingau
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
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 earth complexity. It serves well as an aperitif and matches a wide variety of foods, like lighter salad dishes, shellfish, and cream sauces and also anything with a touch of spice.
Personal Review: This Riesling smelled like honey, nectarines, and citrus fruits with floral notes. The wine tasted sweet and was every so slightly bubbly, leaving a tingle in my nose in the beginning of the tasting. It mostly tasted like sweet peaches and nectarines. I really liked this Riesling and did not have it with any food.
