Shop Review: "The fruity, mouthwater wine has a nice acidity-sugar balance and comes from the so called 'Rheinhessen-Switzerland', the heartland of the Rheinhessen. It has a floral bouquet and is full of lemon zest, hints of passion fruit, and smells like yellow fruit, lemon grass and greet tea, all wrapped around a pleasant creaminess and semi-dry profile. The finish is zippy and refreshing. Perfect for a party on the deck as it comes in a liter bottle!"
My Review: First off the bottle was on sale at the Vintage Cellar, a wine specialty store because of the granules of tartaric acid resting on the bottom. The bottles had been purchased whole sale from a grocery store where the patrons, unaware of what the granules were, simply refused to purchase the wine. The wine for me was not nearly as complex as described above. It was certainly creamy, with some floral notes, rose and passion fruit. Perhaps a very young white tea or an ice cold green tea. Very low on acid all around and i did not pick up on the citrus in the form or lemon zest and didn't notice any zip worth mentioning. It was however very smooth and I could certainly see it being refreshing.
