Quick Taste: Frisk Riesling 2010

Tonight I paired this 2010 Australian "prickly" Riesling with a spiral pasta, broccoli, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. This is the first Riesling I've had, and I enjoyed it! I was surprised that it was sweeter than I had expected, which is most likely a result of the 11% muscat gordo. The "prickly" elements of this wine made it especially clean for a light pasta dish, and I enjoyed the pairing.

Tasting Notes:
Lemon, pineapple, and some spice on the nose. Also a hint of minerality. On the palate, its quite mouth watering, with ginger, apple, and a refreshing "prickle"! Definitely a sweeter wine with a nice lingering finish!
