Tasting- Heniz Eifel Shine Riesling

Name: Heniz Eifel Shine
Variety: Riesling
Region:?
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 earthy complexity. It serves well as an aperitif and matches a wide variety of foods, like lighter salad dishes, shellfish, cream sauces and also anything with a touch of spice.

Personal Review: On the nose I got peach, apple and flowers.  The taste of the wine was tart and dry. It was not as sweet as the bouquet lead me to believe.  The best way to describe the taste of this wine was sour peach. Overall, this weeks wine tasting was really disappointing. Was not impressed by any of the tastings this week.
