Winery Review: “There's no mistaking the variety, with its notes of lime, lemon, herb and green flower. It drinks just a slightest hair off-dry, with a fuller feel, with plentiful acidity tying it all together. It's hard to ask for more” – Sean S. – Wine Enthusiast Magazine - 90

 

Wine Folly: “An aromatic white variety that can produce white wines ranging in style from bone-dry to very sweet. Germany is the world’s most important producer of Riesling”. Flavors include lime, green apple, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum.

              I could definitely get a strong green apple taste from this wine.

 

My Review: Initially, the smell was strongly dominated by granny smith apples; however, it did have a hint of just regular grape juice. Overall, the taste of this wine was great. I found it to go down really smoothly, and leave you puckering a bit at the end with a bit of a sour taste (which I actually really enjoyed). The overall flavor was mainly green apple, with hints of apricot and almost a mowed lawn grass kind of taste.

Tasted on its own, without food.
