Tasting - Clean Slate 2011 Riesling

Name: Clean Slate
Variety: Riesling
Region: Mosel
Country:  Germany
Year: 2011
Price: $11.95

Winery review:  This wine, the 2011 Clean Slate Mosel Riesling, really sings "Summer of Riesling". It is a perfect summer sipper. Clean, fresh, and lively it is packed with refreshing, juicy fruit. And at about $10/bottle, it's a great buy too. Brimming with enticing aromas of ripe peaches, apricots, orange citrus and white flowers, Clean Slate Riesling is medium sweet, but the sweetness is nicely balanced by the wine's racy acidity, which heightens the wine's juiciness and exotic tangy flavors. Easy drinking, but by no means boring — just delicious and each sip begs the next. –Mary Gorman-McAdams, MW

My review:  Presents sour apple and lime peel aromas along with some floral fragrances. On the palate, this wine is very acidic and mildly sweet. Taste of crisp sour apple carries over from the nose to the palate. Some flavors of peaches and minerals. This is a great wine for someone who enjoys a very fresh and tangy wine.

Food: Did not have with food
