Fuenf Riesling Deutscher Landwein Rhein Germany (no year) 9 % alcohol about $10
Let’s start with the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Bright straw color; peach, apricot, and mineral aromas; off dry; citrus and mineral flavors with clean finish. Serving Suggestion : Serve with poached trout or halibut.” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine’s sugar and acidity were both obtrusive. This drink was raw. When paired with Japanese rice crackers its acidity remained harsh but its sweetness was tamed. My initial meal centered on a boxed Eggplant Parmigiana liberally doused with grated Parmesan cheese. The Riesling tasted of unripe apples; its acidity was raw. When it encountered macaroons (coconut cookies) harsh acidity was all that remained.
