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 definitely wasn't one of the excellent Rieslings that I hear about from others. I was expecting it to be very sweet; on the nose, I sensed a hint of light sweetness along with some floral themes. Tasting the Riesling, I discovered strong semi-sweetness (on the dry side of semi-sweet), a light creamy mouth feel, and surprisingly low alcohol. I usually expect a Riesling to be mostly sweet with some floral hints, but also with hints of petroleum. I would pair this wine spicy Asian dishes.
I had this wine without food.
