Winery Review: "Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance" (Vintage Cellar).
My Review: I typically enjoy Rieslings for their fruity, bubbly, and light white wine characteristics. However, the Shine Riesling was not one of my favorites. Although the tangy acids and citrusy fruit were delightful the mineral, dirt characteristics were not as appealing. I found the flint aromas distracted the light, fruity components of the wine, which was disappointing to me. I'd probably choose a different Riesling with a lighter body and stronger fruit appearances.
