Tasting - Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum 2013


Name: Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: Rheinhessen
Country: Germany
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Shop Review: This quality Riesling is crisp, clean, and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautiful balanced and versatile wine.

My Review: On the nose, I smelled rose petals and hints of lemon.  On the palate, there was melon and also rose petal.  This wine was very smooth to drink as there were no tannins or acidity.  It was quite refreshing and was not overly sweet but also had the right amount of dryness. I picked up a bottle for myself!

I did not have food with this wine.
