Winery Review: Fresh caviar lime and lemon aromas make for an electric nose on this bottling. It's slightly sweet on the sip, with stonefruit and citrus flavors zesting up the honeyed core.[1]
Wine Folly: An aromatic white variety that can produce white wines ranging in style from bone-dry to very sweet. Germany is the world’s most important producer of Riesling. Off-dry Riesling wines make a great pairing to spicy Indian and Asian cuisines and do excellently alongside duck, pork, bacon, shrimp, and crab.[2]
My Review: Sweet and as fragrant as spring honeysuckle, the Bee You Riesling beckons to be enjoyed on a cool summer night after a delightful meal. The body of this wine is thick and filling in it's own right so moderation would most likely be forthcoming and easy to balance. Though reviews mention lemon and lime aromas, I personally did not pick up on these notes but this was most likely was due to my inexperience but part of the fun of trying new things is growing as you practice your passions.
