Recommended by Vintage Assessments! A Best Buy |
Crafted from Pelham's oldest estate vineyards, which date back to 1988, this will be a ripe, fresh Riesling with white peach, lime, baking spice, apple and a sharply defined minerality. Look for a wine that is generous, juicy and just lovely. Riesling is a brilliantly versatile dinner wine, and this one is no exception. Dare to try it with just about anything - fish, chicken or barbecued ribs. |
