Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling



Name:
  Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $9

Winery review:  Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.


My review: Citrus, grapey nose with hints of mud and dirt. The earthy flavors were most present as I tasted this wine, and there was a level of acidity that did not please me as I swallowed. I was a little disappointed as most of the other Rieslings I have tasted of late have been great. Not this one.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
