Wine Tasting- Schmitt Söhne

 

Name: Schmitt Söhne 
Varietal: Riesling
Country: Germany
Vintage: 2021
Price: $10

Critic Review: This wine delivers crisp green apple, honeysuckle and citrus flavors, balanced by notes of bright minerality. -Schmitt Söhne Winery

Wine Folly: pg. 158 I was able to get the notes of the apple and this riesling was more on the dry side. I was not able to detect the petroleum and found that description to be quite odd. pg. 159 for German rieslings they are said to have notes of beeswax, which is something that I did not find but thought was something interesting that I hope to pick up on in future tastings of this grape! 

My Review: Good! I found this wine to have a really strong apple and pear aroma with the taste of pear coming through. It was nice and creamy and sat heavy on the tongue. Overall, I thought this good value wine had a lot to offer and I now have a strong interest in this type of varietal!!

I did not pair it with any food!
