Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Variety:  Riesling
Region: Germany
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95
Winery Review:
"This drier-style 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 apertif and matches a wide variety of foods, like lighter salad dishes, shellfish, cream sauces and also anything with a touche of spice."

 My Review: 
This was on of the most unique Riesling wines I have ever smelled.  With strong profiles of apple, pear, and butter on the aroma that smelled more like a Chardonnay.  The flavor was more floral with with hints of apple and peach that have a bit of a mineral aspect to them.  The body is light and it has a very clean, crisp finish.  I did not try any food while tasting this wine.
