Hello, I’m afraid I haven’t been able to try any of our Rieslings yet, but this one should fit the bill.

As per the copy on the page new world Rieslings are generally drier (although there are some lovely wines from the home of this grape - Germany, Austria and Alsace).

I personally live a slice of key lime pie with an Ozzie Riesling. If you can locate any sunshine at the moment! I’d try that combination outdoors.

Tesco Finest Tingleup Riesling & Dr Loosen's Kabinett are my current Riesling crush!

I suggest the d'Arenberg Dry Dam Riesling. I agree with Nick's post - southern hemisphere riesling tends to be drier than those from the northern hemisphere. Riesling is also one of the few white wines that definitely benefits from ageing - if you can bear to leave it alone for a couple of years!

I second louisescott's selection, had the Tingleup recently and i always have a spare bottle in my rack. I'm also a fan of Dr loosen.

Tasted the 'Simply Riesling' and thought it was pretty good for the price, lovely fresh apples and melon flavours with a slight creamy taste, worth trying.

I have to say that I've never had a bad Dr Loosen wine - they have always been very good.

Tesco Finest 2010 Alsace Riesling and the Tesco Finest 2010 Tingleup Australian Riesling are both great.
