Winery Review: "Seductive, sweet apricot aromas captivate the nose of our Snap Dragon Riesling. Full and round in the mouth, the flavors develop radiance with ripe peach and yellow nectarine highlighted by key lime and rose petal. A crisp acidity accents the suggestive sweetness for a poised, pleasant wine. Serve chilled with spicy summer dishes such as chili-rubbed prawns or Thai noodle salad" (Amazon.com).
My Review: A tantalizingly sweet Riesling perfect for those that appreciate light-bodied white wines. Snap Dragon skillfully balances acidity with sweet light fruit flavors. At first taste, peach, apricot, and pear undertones are a welcome addition to this sweet wine. This riesling is light and bubbly which almost make it similar to sparkling wines. I enjoyed this wine at The Gourmet Pantry and therefore didn't get to pair it with any food, but I believe that a spicy entree would balance the sweetness of the wine perfectly.
