Wine Tasting: 2013 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling

Continuing with the summer whites, we are going with a 2013 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Dry Riesling.

Tasting Notes:
Almost colorless, and scents of decaying rubber and insecticide. Not exactly pleasing to the nose. The wine tastes of lemon lime with grapefruit accents. As the flavoring suggest, the wine has quite a tart punch to it. More so than your standard dry wine fare. Given my description, the wine is still quite good and has a silky smooth texture even with it’s tart finish.

Final Thoughts:
A tad tart for my tastes, but you can taste the quality of this wine and of course that's what you expect from Leeuwin Estate Art Series wines.  If you're into tart this would pair well with a salad with a vinaigrette dressing or something similar.
