Tasting - Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum 2013

Peter Mertes Riesling Platinum 2013
Rheinhessen, Germany
Price: $8.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "This quality Riesling is crisp, clean and easy drinking. Floral and fruit aromas suggest sweet melon and honey with enough acidity to ensure a beautifully balanced and versatile wine."

As a not huge fan of sweet wines anymore, I was a bit skeptical about trying this Riesling, but kept WLTV's Riesling episode in mind before writing it off completely. I ended up quite enjoying it, although I would only pick up a bottle for a specific occasion or reason. Very sweet as expected but also balanced made this wine sit nicely on my palate.
