Cono Sur, Reserva Especial Riesling, Bío Bío Valley, Chile 2021

This Riesling from the southerly Bio Bio region is made by one of Chile's most reliable and good value brands. If you're looking for a fruit-forward wine with depth of flavour and bright acidity to match dishes with a bit of spice, this is a great choice. It's an attractive pale gold in the glass - swirl it round and you'll get a waft of sweet peach perfume. You'll find some citrus zestiness and an almost smoky hint to it too. There's 8g/L residual sugar, but it tastes dry, with a lingering stone fruit juiciness.
