Tasting - Nik Weis Selection Urban Riesling

Name:  Nik Weis Selection Urban Riesling
Variety:  Riesling
Region:  Mosel Valley
Country: Germany
Year: 2014
Price: $ 11.99
Wine Mag Review:  Blossomy perfume wafts throughout this squeaky fresh off-dry Riesling. Tart tangerine and punchy yellow peach and mango flavors are vibrant and crisp, resonating long on the finish. It's a straightforward yet balanced, fruity wine. Drink now.

My Review:  The aroma of this wine was of tart green apple and lemon. The color was a faint lemon yellow. I served this Riesling chilled and it was extremely refreshing and crisp. This is a light bodied, semi-sweet Riesling.  The acidity was balanced very nicely and I enjoyed the tart green apple finish.  The taste was predominately green apple and lemon, with hint of peach.  I had tasted this wine with germane Bratwurst and felt this was a nice pairing. The Riesling gave the Bratwurst a slightly sweet taste which was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this Riesling to anyone looking for a semi-sweet white wine.
