Best drunk before food
Wine: Jean Geiler Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg (2005) - Riesling
Reviewed: 29-Sep-2007
- Wine Rating: 62%
- Dryness: 7 - Medium Sweet
Hints of honey in aroma, tastes of lemon and honey. Didn't go well with food - best on its own as it's a very delicate, mild taste.

A smooth mineral tasting wine with some flower bouquet. A very pleasant drink that stood up reasonably to beef.

A very tart, complex tasting wine. Hints of a smoky undertone Fairly sharp, provides a long lasting taste.

A late harvest, off-dry Riesling with lots of taste. A pleasant mix of pineapple, pear and an undertone of grass flavours. A good feature of the wine is the low alcohol content, 11% by volume.
