I am well overdue to review a white wine and with hot and humid weather settling in, it is a perfect time to uncork a white wine, and not just any white, but my favourite grape, a Riesling. I have always been a fan of German Rieslings, and this one is an absolute beauty with aromas of pink grapefruit, pear, wet stone and petrol. The mouthfeel is oily, with delicate sweetness and lively acidity. The finish is long with sweet fruit and a touch of honey. With alcohol at only 8.5% this is a perfect wine to sip on the patio or with a slightly spicy dish. A Riesling of this quality, and fine vintage (2007) could age for many more years and is a great value at this price. (The level of sweetness of this Riesling is medium sweet)
This wine was purchased on January 8, 2011 LCBO New Release at $19.95.
