Winery Review: Clean Slate is a balanced Riesling, hallmarked by its lively acidity and minerality and complimented by flavors of ripe peach and citrus fruits. Originating from the Mosel Valley in Germany, the clean, fresh and modern style of this wine is perfect for any occasion. [1]
Wine Folly: Riesling is Germany’s specialty. The regions of Rheingau, Pfalz, and Mosel produce some of the most exceptional examples of Riesling in the world. Wines here are noted for their sky-high acidity, high aromatic intensity, minerality, and balanced off-dry style.[2]
My Review: Heavy with citric lime and slight saltiness, this Riesling fooled me into believing I was drinking a margarita briefly. The acidy is well balanced and not over powering, providing a wonderfully crisp and refreshing Riesling that would pair wonderfully with a spicier dish, Mexican perhaps?
