Tasting - R Wines Eco.Love Riesling


Name: R Wines Eco.Love Riesling 
Variety:  %100 Riesling

Region:  South Island
Country:  New Zealand
Year:  2009
Price:  $7.95

Shop Review:  Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike and other.  These flavors span citrus, root ginger, white peach, spices, and florals.  Eco.Love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style.  Food pairing: Asian Fusion, Seafood, Curry, and anything spicy

My Review: Probably my favorite white varietal and up until now I had never had a Riesling from down under. It was mostly what I anticipated with tropical fruits and minerals making up most of its character. It was boarding on too sweet for me but the strong tart acidic component reigned in the sweetness. Somewhat short finish but with a strong mango flavor left lingering.
