Tesco Finest Tingleup Riesling from Australia is a Decanter favourite, and if you love that, you'll probably love this wine too. Where Tingleup is all about limey freshness, this NZ Riesling is packed with ripe, spicy pear fruit and some floral hints. The grapes are from cool-climate vineyards in Marlborough's Wairau and Omaka Valleys, with some Central Otago grapes adding depth and complexity. Tangy, off-dry and aromatic, this would work a treat with sushi and sashimi.
