Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine


Heinz Eifel Shine
Riesling
Germany
2012
$9.95

Wine 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.

My review: Light pink and very light clear color. Crisp and clean with sweet plum like aroma and bouquet on the nose. Sweet and lemon flavors come forward on the palate. Light and medium body and short, crisp, and acidic finish. Acidic fruit component lasts long throughout the smooth finish with hint of  sweet strawberries at the end. It was very fresh wine that will be well paired with any light appetizer or light desert. Also it will go well with seafood dishes with light cream sauce and non spicy Asian dishes with seafood or chicken with light cream sauce.
