Grape Varieties: Riesling
Obtained from: Purchased at Total Wine & More
Price: $16.00
Wino4Life Category: Everyday Wine
Cork Condition: Screw Top - no defects or issues.
Appearance: The wine is clear, light yellow in the center with a water white rim.
Aroma: Logs of fruit - peaches and a bit of citrus, and maybe some green apple.
The Grade: I give this one a B. A solid wine, but not much there other than pure fruit, a little more like a US or Australian version rather than a German Riesling. A nice wine for lighter food - but my pairing with the Carbonara was just OK. The smoky flavor was not really accentuated like I'd hoped, and although the crispness of the wine cut through the creamy/eggy sauce - the dish was just too heavy. I'm going to a heavier white or to a French Rhone wine next time - because the good news was the Carbonara absolutely rocked!
