Tasting Notes of Wines around the World
During my 2023 summer holidays in Canada I bought three bottles of Icewine. Each one made with a different grape variety: Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Since then I tasted all of them. Below the reviews.

I bought these two bottles of Riesling while cruising the Moselle in Autumn last year. I picked them amongst the numerous I tasted at the Mosel-Vinothek in Bernkastel, where some 150 different wines from the Moselle region can be savoured. Every wine is displayed with a short description of the producer and the characteristics of the wine itself. Continue reading “Kallfelz Riesling 2017”
This very special sweet wine, produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine, presents itself with a brilliant amber color. The nose is dominated by hazelnuts.

Visually this wine has a medium to deep Amber color. Olfactory it has a bouquet that recalls apple must, nuts and backed apple pie. In the mouth is less filling and rich than I had expected.

The wine presents itself with a brilliant gold color and a nose of honeyed apples, alongside some diesel smell typical of aged Riesling. In the mouth light and refreshing, with lemon like acidity that leaves the mouth salivating for a while. The finish is discreet, with a sweet dried pineapple aftertaste that linger for a long time.
