Tasting - Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum

Name: Peter Mertes 
Variety: Reisling platinum
Region: Rheinhessen
Country: Germany
Year: 2013
Price: 8.95




Winery review: This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine.


My review: I thought this Reisling had an odd chemical taste. It reminded me of the smell you get when opening a cabinet where cleaning supplies are stored. Not a fan. Not fond of how sweet it was also. However, it was super crisp and light, making it sort of an easy wine to drink.
