Tasting - Heinz Eifel Shine

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine
Variety: Qualitaswein
Region: Germany (unspecified)
Country: Germany
Year: 2017
Price: $10
Winery review: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling is made from grapes harvested on the sloping hillsides of Germany's prime wine growing regions. The inding rivers running alongside these vineyards reflect sunlight, which help to ripen the Riesling througout the long cool growing season. Shine Riesling is slightly sweet, with bright, crip flavors of green apple, pear, and peach. It is best served chilled, and can be enjoyed before a meal or with spicier Asian cuisine.
My review: Before I tried this wine, my friend who also bought a bottle of this told me that he hated it. I was scarred of the wine before I got to taste it. However it was pretty enjoyable. The smell was of generic white wine. I could not pull out anything else out of the smell. I then tasted it without food and it was kinda dry and generic to me. However when I started to eat some spicy mexican food that I made for date night it really "shine"d (ba dum chhhhhh...I swear I'm funny). Berry flavors along with green apple. I really enjoyed this wine and if I were trying to get a wine to pair with spicy food I would look to this. Great time, college wallet would let me buy it again.

This was tried with homemade spicy mexicanesk food.
