Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine



Name: Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety: Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $8.95


Shop review: Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors.  Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.


My review: Tasted like a bubble bath at the beach.  Strong pineapple flavors.  Way too sweet for me, I did not enjoy this wine and did not finish it.  I would have to disagree with the description and say there was a lack of balance.  It came right at you strong and intense on the first whiff/taste.  I would pair this with nothing and drink it after dinner maybe.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
