Wine Reviewed
Moselland Bernkasteler Kurfurstlay Riesling 2011 9.5 % alcohol about $10.
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Pale
straw yellow colour; citrus, mineral and dried apricot aromas and
flavours; balanced with crisp acidity in the finish. Serving Suggestion :
Served chilled with pork, turkey or appetizers. Spicy asian dishes.”
And now for my review.At the first sips this wine was pleasantly sweet with good acidity. The initial meal centered on home made chicken breast nuggets dusted with garlic powder and black pepper. The Riesling’s sweetness lightened as its acidity stepped up. The Matbucha salad consisting of tomatoes, tomato puree, sweet pimentos, hot peppers, garlic and more added lemons and some smoke to the libation. Dousing the meat with Jalapeno pepper mix imparted an aspect of candy to our German friend. Fresh raspberries rendered the wine thin but I did note fine acidity and pleasant sweetness in my glass.
