Winery Review:
Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.

My review:
Smell - There was something off about the smell of this wine. The only words I could use to describe this wine were wet dog. I'm not sure if it was the wine or if it was because I had tried 4 other wines in the glass before, but this wine just didn't smell good. Past the wet dog smell, I got a hint of underlying sweetness.
Taste - The taste of the wine was very different from the smell. It tasted sweet, but not too sweet. I also could taste the pineapple flavor with a hint of lime. The wine overall tasted rather citrusy. I really enjoyed the taste of this wine, just not the smell. I am really excited to try other sweet Rieslings that have a different smell.
I tasted this on its own without food.
