My Relax Riesling Review

The hype about the exterior bright blue bottle doesn’t stop there. Opening the Relax Riesling, I noticed a bright yellow color with a floral and fruity aroma. I can easily distinguish the honeysuckle with hints of lemons and pears.

The wine is good for its price. But it leans a little towards the sweeter side, and it’s still easy to drink. If you like sweet wines but not like a syrupy dessert wine, then this could be the wine for you. Because it has a light and long finish making you want to refill for another glass.

Take note that it’s best served when chilled and is perfect to pair with fresh salads, grilled poultry or seafood, and even spicy Asian dishes.

Overall, the acidity balances out the sweetness of this wine.
