Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum 2013


Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum
Riesling
Rheinhessen
Germany
2013
$8.95

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

If you've read earlier posts in this blog, you know about the love I've developed for Rieslings this semester. So naturally I was really happy when I saw there was a Riesling at this tasting! However, this one wasn't as amazing as I'd hoped. Again, I'm not in the best shape for tasting right now because of allergies, but this bottle just seemed too sweet. I guess I prefer dry Rieslings, so that's good to know. I didn't get to have it with food, but you could probably pair this with a fruit salad, or even just drink it on its own.
