Tasting- Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling

Name: Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling Magnum
Variety: Riesling
Country: Germany
Year: 2014
Price: $18  Sale: $9.95
Vintage Cellar Winery Review: “Light-bodied slightly sweet white wine; medium pale slightly greenish yellow. Inviting fresh white peach aroma and flavors. Easy to drink and not complicated, but what's there is very pleasant, and flavors develop in the glass." ~ Winery notes

My Review: This wine found in an extremely large bottle was a white wine. Unfortunately, the exact color could not be determined from the residual red wine in the glass before the pour. The smell was sugary and floral, like a lilac and a hibiscus. This wine in the mid palate developed a peach and pear flavor which balanced quite nicely through the medium length after taste. This was a sweet wine through the whole tasting but the floral sweetness transformed more into fruity sweetness.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
