Review

"Lavender and violet notes are lavishly floral against a backdrop of ripe, juicy peaches on this sunny off-dry wine. Zingy citrus acidity gives the palate backbone and a bracing finish. A great value wine to enjoy throughout the summer season." Critic Tasting Note, found at (https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/eschner+haus+riesling+rheinessen+germany/1/usa-va-y)

My Review

The aroma of this Riesling was very pleasant and of sweet citrus and honey.  I did pick up on the waxy aromas as well, but they were not too pronounced and contributed to the aroma well.  The taste was of a sour apple, with hints of citrus and sweeter fruits.  I enjoyed this wine and will drink it again!

I did not taste this wine with food.
