Country Mix 106.8fm WineSpot Lower Alcohol Wines August 5th 2009




Ligher Wines / Wines with lower alcohol
We visited Germany and Portugal for this tasting of two white wines.
We had the Max Ferd. Richter Zeppelin Riesling 2008 RRP 13.95 from the Mosel Valley, a really tasty, off-dry wine with lovely aromas and flavours at 9.5% alcohol.
We also tasted another classic summer wine, the Vinho Verde from Portugal (Vinhas Altas 2008 RRP 10.95) slightly spritzy with a nice hint of lemon and green apple fruit. 10% alcohol and very refreshing. Both these wines are perfect for lunchtime drinking.
You can listen to my weekly winespot every Wednesday morning between 10 and 11am on Country Mix 106.8fm.
