Tasting - Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling Magnum 2014 - Feb. 11, 2016










Name: Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling Magnum 2014
Variety: Riesling
Country: Germany
Year: 2014
Price: $18

Winery Review: Light-bodied slightly sweet white wine; medium pale slightly greenish yellow. Inviting fresh white peach aroma and flavors. Easy to drink and not complicated, but what's there is very pleasant, and flavors develop in the glass. (Winery Notes)

My Review: This was a pretty interesting wine at first glance. The coolest thing about it was the bottle. It was a tall slender bottle that was bigger than my arm. It had the same color scheme as a Bud Light Platinum (I found that funny). The smell was light and was definitely leaning on a less complicated wine than the other ones tasted this week. The taste followed suite with a light body with fruity sweet tastes. This wine was very light and I wouldn't mind sipping on this as a treat after a good dinner. Wouldn't drink it regularly but I would try it again. If not for the taste and expereince, buy it for the sweet bottle.
