Shop Review: Leave it to the Aussies to come up with
a tasty values wine with a sassy descriptive name. Frisk is a frisky Riesling with a pleasing
level of prickly spritz lifting the ample fruity flavors. It has a pale straw color, lively bubbles,
loads of tropical fruit and jasmine aromas, off-dry fruity flavors, a
refreshing 9.8% alcohol and a sweet/tart finish; and all that Australian
goodness.
My Review: This
young wine is so lightly colored, it is almost clear. It has a very light peach aroma. It has a pineapple taste with a finish filled
with other tropical fruit flavors. While
it may not sound appealing for some as a wine, it was so light, that it almost
tasted like flavored water! For one who
likes full-bodied red wines, I was surprised to enjoy it as much as I did, so I
just had to buy a bottle!
I had this wine
alone without any food.
