This wine’s light, airy mouthfeel belies its sweetness and intensity of flavor. Honeyed pineapple aromas; similar flavors on the palate, adding gentle citrus notes toward the long, sweet finish.
Your Review:
Cool. This was fruity and sweet without the sugar/syrup feel.  Thank you German Riesling.  It smells like a bowl of fruit; maybe like a fruit salad bowl after a bit of time in the sun.  I was very pleased that it did not have that syrup kind of feel.  A nice easy to drink wine; no excessive heat/acidity/heavy mouthfeel.  A super great wine to drink with someone like my little sister; old enough to have tried wine, but still young enough to try and shy her away from Barefoot Moscato. I was pleased, even if this is not my typical wine preference.  Not my favorite of the lot, but it exceeded expectation.
