Winery Review: This light-bodied and refreshingly sweet wine hits all the right fruit-filled notes with delicate orange blossom, juicy apple, and tangy lemon. The wine hits all the right fruit-filled notes with perfect pitch. A delicate orange blossom aroma bounce off juicy apple and tangy lemon flavors for a slightly sweet finale. 

My Review: I tend to like really sweet wine, but this wine was just too sweet. Almost syrupy, and the amount of sugar kills any fruit flavor. It smelled fresh and fruity, with citrus hints of maybe tangerine or grapefruit. This wine might be better if it were carbonated, or if I had added some soda water to it. Definitely a refreshing white Riesling, but just too terribly sweet.
