The next course was Mick’s curried Mussels which I always look forward too and this was paired with a 2010 Lingenfelder Kabinett Riesling.
The nose on the Riesling was peach, nectarine with floral and petrol notes in the background. Orange zest and Green apple flavours were the two main flavours to the wine. I liked the structure on the wine but a touch more acidity was needed to balance out the sweetness of the wine. Good and solid pairing with the Mussels.
Here is the group rating for the wine -Mick – 86, Mark - 88, Kathy – 86, Amy – 88, Overall – 87.

Tasting Note - Yellow-gold colour with aromas of spring flowers, pear, mineral, yellow apple, spice and a hint of limeade. Off-dry with pretty, intense apple and spice replays and very good acidity for balance. This tasty wine is light in body with an impressively long finish. Enjoy with soft cheeses, or pork roast with peach salsa. (VINTAGES panel, March 2012)
