A lovely Riesling that has a classic lemon and lime nose which leads into a lip-smacking, tangy palate filled out by some lovely peach and tangerine flavours. Finishes on a dry, limey acidity.

Dry Riesling from Aus is a great style of wine that more people should try - take a look at our recent Australian Riesling panel tasting if you are still sitting on the fence. This example from Clare Valley has bright lemon and lime juice flavours alongside green apple which heralds an almost-tart acidity. This is one for creamy dishes or seafood. Part of Aldi's core range.
