Winery Review: Riesling is a traditional German wine that originated in the Rhine region and is known for its flowery and intense aromatic characteristics. Gorgeously gold in the light, lush, tropical fruit fragrances leap from the glass, while satiny summer peaches and fresh melons rain down on you palate. This is a 24-carat bliss. 

My Review: I didn't really enjoy this white wine as much as I did compared to Gallo Family's Sweet Chardonnay. It had a fruity aroma but it wasn't overwhelming. This wine had a tangy apple taste and a subtle hint of melon. With an ALC of 12.5% by volume, I was able to taste the heat in this white wine unlike the Sweet Chardonnay from my previous review.

I tried this Riesling without food but I feel like it would pair up well with a light fish plate.
