Community Tasting Note

  September 13, 2015 - Appearance: Clear wine with a pale lemon colour and green reflections.
  
  Nose: Clean nose with a Medium+ intensity. This wine is youthful.
  
  As usual I did this wine blind but called it immediately - unmistakably Riesling. Lime zest, green apple skin and slatey minerality are prominent but well balanced with the kerosene/petrol notes - I personally appreciate this as these can sometimes dominate an otherwise lovely wine.
  
  Palate:
  Off-dry
  High acidity
  Low alcohol
  Medium intensity
  Medium body
  Medium+ finish
  
  Slightly softer than the nose suggests with more stone fruit and softer citrus. Still a refreshing wine but not quite as lively as I was hoping for on the palate - perhaps a little too much sugar.
  
  Very good quality Riesling from the Niagara Peninsula, Canada. Can be drunk now or could equally be held onto for another few years. I believe the price point is around 20 dollars which is excellent QPR for this wine.
