Tasting - Landshut Riesling

Name: Landshut Riesling
Variety:  100% Riesling
Year: 2020
Price: $9.99
Country/Region: Germany (Mosel)


Wine Review: "Very fruity and refreshing with strong Lemon, peach and apple taste. It has a good balance of acidity, dryness and sweetness. Pleasant Riesling at a great price!" - P.C (1/29/2021)

Wine Folly: According to page 158, a Riesling is very aromatic and can produce wines that range from extra dry to very sweet. Germany is also the leading producer of Rieslings. On page 234 it says that some of the worlds top Rieslings come from the Mosel Valley.


My Review: I was not a huge fan of this wine at first, as it was very acidic, but after a few sips I got used to it. It turned out to not be overly sweet, however the high acidity could have gotten in the way. It smelled very peachy and citrusy, and it tasted about the same. I tasted peach, lemon, apple, and some honey. There also was some slight pear as well. I drank this wine by itself, however I think it would go well with a dessert, similar to one I had and wrote about in my Wine Lab tasting blog.
