Wine Maker Review: "The Loredona Riesling offers delicate aromas of honeysuckle, granny smith apples and ripe melon. As you sip the wine, layers of flavors unfold starting with ripe apricot and white peaches moving into Valencia orange and lychee. The wine is quite refreshing, finishing with a pleasant tartness that lingers on the palate. Loredona Riesling is a great match with Asian dishes, seafood chowders and bisques and fresh fruit such as apples, peaches and pears."
My Review: When I go in for the sniffy sniff I get a big kick of pears, sweet ripened pears with a little sugar on top. The taste is very balanced for a riesling. A lot of the time they are like BAM sweet but this is subtly sweet with lots of pear and peach touches and more of a dull acidity that lingers at the end. I drank this at room temp and found it to be nice that way. I usually prefer my whites to be cold but the temperature on this one worked out quite nicely. Good wine and nice to be surprised by a riesling.
