Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027
As with other perennial festive favourites, this launches in November. A little goes a long way and will impress with its unctuous barley sugar, dried apricot and lemon sherbet flavours cut by racy acidity. New to the range, a 2023 Specially Selected Sweet Clare Valley Riesling (£7.99) is less sweet but also not as complex.
