Winery Review: “The fruity, mouthwatering wine has a nice
acidity-sugar balance and comes from the so called 'Rheinhessen-Switzerland',
the heartland of Rheinhessen. It has a floral bouquet and is full of lemon
zest, hint of passion fruit, and smells like yellow fruit, lemon-grass and
green tea, all wrapped around a pleasant creaminess and a semi-dry profile. The
finish is zippy and refreshing. Perfect for party on the deck as it comes in a
liter bottle!”
My Review: The color was a bright green-lime, with a zesty nose that reminded one of fresh squeezed lemonade. The taste was just as the nose had hinted: it was zippy, spring-like, and refreshing, with some subtle earthy tones. It was a unique blend of limeade and flowers with a smooth, silky texture with a slightly sour finish that reminded me of what Sprite tastes like. If the colors light green and yellow had a taste, this would be it. It was a fun, revitalizing selection that I enjoyed so much that I purchased (for ~$5 it's a complete steal that I would be remiss to turn down!). I could imagine this paired with a light salad with Italian dressing and topped with herbed cuts of salmon. I will definitely enjoy this aesthetic, easy-to-drink treat this weekend!
