Tasting - Barefoot Riesling
Name: Barefoot
Variety: Riesling
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: N/A
Price: $ 7.00
Winery Review: "Multiple stone fruit flavors define the Barefoot Riesling palate. Peach, nectarine, and mandarin notes contribute ripeness to this medium-to-full-bodied Riesling, as a hint of fresh lemon rounds the mouthfeel. The acidity is crisp and refreshing and helps wine fans clean their mouth from the sweetness. Fruity and savory, Barefoot Riesling has a compelling tasting profile. It is among the most pleasant whites, at least as California Rieslings are concerned." (Winepros.org)
Wine Folly: Pg. 158 While the wine folly talks about Riesling ranging from bone-dry to very sweet, this bottle of wine was definitely on the sweeter side. This is the second time now that I have had Riesling and still did not taste any notes of petroleum.
My Review: I found this wine to be overall very refreshing. The tasting notes that I found most prominent were definitely mango and pineapple. This wine had a very light body. I was impatient and don't think that I left it in the fridge long enough. Next time that I try it I will allow it to get a little colder. I also drank this wine on its own with no food.
