Riesling, Washington
Classic
Washington Riesling has a distinctive floral and green apple aroma mixed with mineral elements from its Washington vineyard, giving it a brisk, ‘racy’ quality. Its high natural level of acidity enables it to balance a hint of residual sugar, setting off aromas of rose petal, apple, pear, peach and apricot and leading to a grand crisp finish of flinty mineral notes. Riesling is the longest-lived of all white wines. Floral, green apple and lime.

The classic traits of quality, palate-cleansing Sauvignon Blanc are evident in this version sourced directly from Chile. Crisp, dry, fruity & grassy; this very refreshing wine is a fabulous match with food, as its full, fresh flavours and wonderfully balanced acidity make it essential with chicken, fish and grilled vegetables. Also try it with seafood… especially raw oysters. We love this white because it is so true to style. Herbaceous, peach and pineapple.
