Appraisal:

Here is a Bio Wine from Pfalz. It is Semi-dry, very drinkable, but probably very hard to find unless you visit the winery or know the right places, like Venos in Frankfurt. A special thing about this wine is that the hire Handicaped people and pick the grapes by hand to make an Ökological wine.

Pfalz, Riesling, Peter Mertes KG Weinkellerei, Lieblich 2014

So, I am starting to 'officially' taste wines :)

 

Wine Name: Morio-Muskat

Harvest Year: 2014

Region: Pfalz, Deutschland

Flavor classification: Lieblich (sweet)

Quality classification: Deutscher Qualitätswein

Vintner: Peter Mertes KG Weinkellerei, D-54470 Bernkastel-Kues

Price: €2,19 on sale

Appraisal:

When I first opened this wine, I did not like it at all. It seemed too dry. The next day, after it aired some, it tasted much better. Sometimes, or more often, a wine needs to breath to reach the potential that it has inside. For this wine this was definitely the case. It was on sale so I thought it was just for drinking quickly but turned out to be rather drinkable.

Color: Pale

Aroma: Green, dry (smells a little like a Chardonay)

Taste: 1st day, too dry

           2nd day, much better!

Style: Crisp, Pear

My evaluation follows:

Nose(1-5):           3

Flavor(1-25):      19

Character(1-10): 5

Balance(1-5):      3

Length(1-5):       4
