These are all great aperitifs that will also go with almost any dish that would be enhanced with a touch of lemon: white meat or fish dishes, asparagus, and goat or sheep cheeses.
- Alsace Riesling
Fruity and characteristic nose, lively citrus fruit reaction in the mouth. Quite dry, as expected for an Alsatian Riesling.
- German Riesling
A dryish Riesling with aromas of fresh apple and peach with a floral note. Juicy mouth-feel with flavours of mango and peach rounded off with subtle, elegant spice. Clean minerality and elegant acidity.
- Australian Riesling
Classic lemony, minerally Riesling that is bone dry with austere acidity.
- German off-dry Riesling
From one of the most highly rated Mosel winemakers a classic off dry Riesling.
