Light, sweet and charmingly pleasant, Relax offers as it name suggests in a most hospitable way. Notes are floral without being overpowering, just barely noticeable while being refreshing. As my favourite Riesling so far, I'd definitely recommend pairing with a fruity, vanilla, and/or creamy dessert if not enjoyed by itself.

This is an inexpensive, widely available, and consistent riesling. A light finish with fruity notes... not too sweet but sweet enough for those looking for a delicious white. Pairs well with fish, desserts, and poultry.

Nice up-front citrus with sweetness on the back of the tasting. Tart lingering finish left me wanting another taste. Great everyday wine at an affordable price.

    Light fruit on the nose. Reminds me of the fruit cocktail snack cups you buy at the grocery store. Light and crisp on the palate. Good acidity. Not a fruit bomb by any means but a real easy drinker and well balanced. This would be good served cold on a hot summer afternoon. Not bad at all. For this price range you can't go wrong with this. This is a very good QPR wine.

    This fine Riesling wine originates from the Mosel valley with its steep vineyards and offers an extraordinary premium wine quality.Forward fruit and floral aromas of apples and peaches with just a hint of citrus. The natural acidity gives the wine a perfect balance that is refreshingly crisp and leaves your mouth watering. This wine pairs well with a wide range of food like light salads, poultry, seafood and blue cheese or just on its own. Serve chilled. - Winery

    This fully ripened Riesling has highly extracted fruit flavors of apricots and peaches coupled with enough acidity to give it a firm and juicy mouth feel.

    At 250,000 cases imported, this has to be one of the biggest brands of Riesling on the market. The modern packaging contains a cleanly made, off-dry wine with bright herb and apple notes and a citrusy finish - it's easy to see its mass appeal.

    This ever-popular Mosel Riesling is brimming with white peach and apricot fruit on the nose with a limey, mid-palate acidity. Calling it a perfect summer thirst quencher would be an understatement - deck party anyone?

    Probably the top-selling German Riesling in the store, the Relax is light and fruity, with bright green apple, lime and apricot flavors. Semi-dry, but not overly sweet, this wine is best chilled on its own, or with spicy Asian or Mexican cuisine.
