Shop review:
Heir to the vineyards of his "Opa", Anton Escher tended to his vines as his grandfather had many years before. The vines of Rheinhessen Germany flourish in the warm, sunny, mineral-enriched soils. Proud of his heritage, Escher grew his grapes to match; slightly sweet with a bright character. Ripe fruit flavors and aromas of peaches and pears round out this traditional German Liebfaumilch.



My review:
At first glance, the wine is a pale yellow and while swooshing the wine, I noticed that the legs pulled away in a staggered manner, which gave the impression that the wine was thin. At first smell, I noticed a fruity aroma. Upon tasting, the fruity taste became more sour and reminded me of tart Granny Smith Apples. The taste was light and crisp, and uninfluenced by food (i.e. I did not eat during this tasting).
