Winery Review: A sweet wine that also gave me a nice and crisp feel. The flavors of citrus and pear finished off in a slightly dry finish. I paired this wine with salmon in coconut curry sauce over cauliflower, and it was the perfect match. The sweetness of the wine cooled off, and mellowed the spiciness of the curry sauce.

My Review: Not a bad value wine. This wine was made specifically for Wegman’s. The nose was fruity with some floral notes coming though. I smelled apple and apricots presenting too. The taste was of apricot and honey with a light peachiness. It had a silky mouthfeel. It was slightly acidic on the back end. It had a medium length finish. An unoffending wine that isn’t bad if you just want anything. The flavors are almost too subtle to really pick out. I’ve had better Rieslings at near the same price point.
