Shop Review:

The fruity, mouthwatering wine has a nice acidity-sugar balanced and comes from the so called 'Rheinhessen-Switzerland', the heartland of Rheinhessen.  It has a floral bouquet and is full of lemon zest, hint of passion fruit., and smells like yellow fruit, lemon-grass and green tea, all wrapped around a pleasant creaminess and a semi-dry profile.  The finish is zippy and refreshing.

My Review:

My original opinion of white wine was wrong; it based off to small a sample size.  This wine was acidic and had a tartness to it after-taste.  This after-taste balanced of the initial sweet taste.  It had a refreshing smell which had hints of pears and other light fruits.  Overall, this wine provided good refreshment without to much sweetness.
