Yeah so I'm broke. Don't judge me.
I was making blue cheese, walnut, apple and rocket salad for a friend, and was thinking Spatlese or similar. The man in Liquorland told me to buy this. It was $10. Hopeful, I yielded. ..Yeah, I know. :S
Rosemount Estate
Traminer Reisling 2012
light lemon colour
nose: citrus, melon, rose petals. Promising!
palate: fruity, rose, lemon, apple, fermented fruit.
Not a great balance of sweet and acid- overwhelmingly sweet, and not in a good way. Good quality off-dry reisling can have a lovely playful sour/sweet balance, but it's something that has to be just right. It felt like drinking sherbet.
And as for the traminer part, gewitztraminer is actually my favourite style of wine. However the lovely lychee flavours were absent and rose more like fake essence.
A bit of a fail! But we drank it anyway!
My fiance is back next week and sure to be bringing back oodles of excellently selected wine to taste, yay! :)
Plus, we will be moving to the Barossa Valley, South Australia (home of many many excellent wineries) in two weeks! Many hearty shirazzzes this winter. Hopefully I get a job selling wine and it's all go from there. Blogs galore! ..My poor liver... :)
