  • 2008 Grovetown Riesling

    Aroma: Citrus zest and candied peel. Palate: Racy structure with zingy flavours of lemon curd and apricot, and a crisp finish. Suggested Foods: This wine is excellent as an aperitif before a meal, but also able to partner a wide range of food, from crayfish and scallops through to pork and spicy Asian food. The natural balance of sugar, acidity and alcohol make the wine suited to a wide range of palates, and ideal for social functions.
