Tasting Notes - Allira Riesling 2006

The non-Riesling drinker's Riesling!
Floral and peach on the nose with some mineral notes in the background, the palate was light, with only medium levels of acidity ( I like racy acidity in my Rieslings!) A touch sweet with soft apple flavours and a long refreshing finish. I tasted this wine with 16 other people and a number of them commented that they don't normally like Riesling but they really liked this drop and at $13 I would describe this wine as a definite crowd pleaser! Serious Riesling fans could be a bit disappointed.
