Black Tower Fruity White Wine

Black Tower seems to have been with us for ever and is a supermarket staple, so clearly has its fans. Its jazzy two-tone label has given it a facelift but it is otherwise nondescript but also perfectly nice.  Its label says it is fruity which suggests sugary but in fact it has a quite well balanced tartness to the classic German Riesling-type grape taste of pears and pineapple.  I say Riesling-like as the grapes are unnamed – we just know that they were grown somewhere in the EU.  So a thoroughly manufactured product by the Kendermann’s winery/factory but the advantage of that is a great price and very reliable and drinkable quality.
