Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

•Name Heinz Eifel Shine
•Variety Riesling
•Region Mosel-Saar Ruwer
•Country Germany
•Year 2010

Vintage Cellar 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:  This wine was smooth and sweet, with a lot of residual sugar.  I detected pear and apple on the nose.  I also tasted some citrus flavors.  The sweetness of the wine was balanced by a subtle tart acidity.   I did not taste this wine with food
