Winery Review:

“The fruity, mouthwatering wine has a nice acidity-sugar balance and comes from the so called 'Rheinhessen-Switzerland', the heartland of Rheinhessen. It has a floral bouquet and is full of lemon zest, hint of passion fruit, and smells like yellow fruit, lemon-grass and green tea, all wrapped around a pleasant creaminess and a semi-dry profile. The finish is zippy and refreshing. Perfect for party on the deck as it comes in a liter bottle!”


 My Review: This wine surprised me quite a bit.  The aroma has a very floral, clover hint that reminds me of being in a wild field.  Some banana came through as well.  The flavor on the other hand was very sweet with everything from hints of melon to apricot present.  The texture was creamy with an aftertaste that was soft and light.  One of my favorites so far.  I had it without any food pairings.
