Tasting-Governors wine 2021

 Name: Governor's Wine

Variety: Riesling

Country or Origin: USA

Region of Origin: Jamestown Virginia

Price: $12.00


Wine Folly: Page 158 Riesling should have notes of lime, green apple, Beeswax, Jasmine, and Petroleum. It should have a lot of sweetness, Medium low alcohol content, very high acidity,


My Review: This was my first time ever having a Riesling and it was not my favorite because I do not like sweet wines and this wine was very sweet. I did notice sour notes and citrus notes but the smell of the wine was not great. I thought it was cool that I could still get those notes while it was so sweet because most sweet wines I have had the sweetness overpowers


Wine review online:





White is a semi dry Riesling with a lot of bright fruit and multiple layers. On the nose there are the tropical fruits such as pineapple, passion fruit, star fruit followed by blueberry, strawberry, plum and a touch of lemon that adds a pleasant brightness to the wine.

Off the nose it really does not do anything as I get notes of bleach. It does not taste very good either as it tastes sort of chemically as well. I paired it with some bellavitano cheese as well and the cheese was good but when I paired it with the wine it overpowered the cheese and it w...
