Riesling 2010
Canterbury
Tasting Notes:
When Riesling is drunk young it provides fresh, lively wines which are great as an aperitif, & then as time goes on the wine has a wonderful ability open up and develop, offering a wider spectrum of delightful and interesting flavours. This wine has been a consistent award winner over the years. Food Matches:
Drunk on it's own or as an aperitif or to accompany salads, chicken and fish dishes. Particularly excellent with Asian style foods.
