Winery Review: "Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike any other. These flavors span citrus, root ginger, white peach, spices and florals. eco.love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style. Food Pairing: Asian Fusion, Seafood, Curry, and anything spicy"
My Review: This was an interesting Riesling compared to the tones I've had before. This definitely had an exotic, Asian flavor feel to it and I especially was sensitive to these flavors growing up in a Vietnamese household with plenty of Vietnamese cuisine. There was lemongrass, lime juice, and apricot on the nose. On the palate, there was these distinct spices that my mother usually uses to cook her Pho, a traditional Vietnamese soup dish. Along with these spices, I was getting coconut, almond butter, and hints of floral bouquet in the form of violet. It was not paired with food, but I can 100% agree with the winery review's suggestion of taking this with Asian food.
