Tasting - R Wines Eco Love Reisling

Name: Eco Love Riesling
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: South Island
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $18.00

Winery Review: Our South Island Riesling has a range and combination of flavors unlike any other. These flavors span citrus, root ginger, white peach, spices and florals. eco.love Riesling is made in balance to an off-dry style. Food Pairing: Asian Fusion, seafood, curry and anything spicy.

My Review: This Riesling was definitely unique compared to other Rieslings from Germany and Alsace. The wine had a nice white peach and apple aroma. After tasting, these flavors came through throughout the wine and had a slightly dry finish that provided a nice balance.

I did not have this wine with food.

I forgot to take a picture of the bottle at the tasting.

Name: Babich Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2012
Price: $14.95

Winery Review: A juicy white, with bright acidity and lean lemon, lime and green apple flavors. A note of fresh thyme graces the finish. Drink now.

My Review: This wine had a very light, fruity taste. Apple was a prominent taste in this wine. Very smooth wine with not much of a bitter taste.

I tasted this on its own without food.
