Country of Origin: Germany
Region of Origin: Nahe
Vintage Year: 2021
Price: $15
Shop/Winery/Critic Review: “This riesling has a lot of characteristics: it offers a high quality of aromas, plenty of fruit, and a lingering sweet taste. It has the finest aromatic fragrances of tropical fruits, peaches, apples, and lychees on the palate. Serving Suggestions: This Riesling is highly recommended to pair with Asian cuisine, poultry, fish, and light meat dishes.” Vintage Cellar (2021)
References of specific flavors/aromas/grape characteristics: According to Wine Folly, this grape variety has references of green apple, lime, beeswax, jasmine, and petroleum. The wine I tasted was on the sweeter side so I would say I picked up on green apple, lime, and jasmine, but not so much the beeswax and petroleum. (Pg. 158)
My Review: Tasted without food. I really enjoyed this wine. It was a sweeter wine, but not so sweet that you felt sick after just one glass. I definitely tasted fruity flavors like peaches and apples. I would describe the overall body of the wine very light, which I really enjoyed. The worker at Vintage Cellar said he had this for his anniversary and I would agree that it is a very good anniversary/congratulatory wine - definitely a good substitute for Champagne if you don’t want anything bubbly!
