Wine: 2020 Main Divide Riesling, North Canterbury $21.99
Why I chose it:
- Riesling is the best value NZ wine
- It is an exceptionally good wine
- Main Divide (Pegasus Bay) is a top Riesling producer
What does it taste like?
- Medium-dry riesling with the delicate aroma of white wildflowers and flavours that suggest lime and apricot. Delicately luscious wine with appealing purity and a lingering finish. Great value at this price.
Why it’s a bargain:
- Great wine at a competitive price
Where can you buy it?
- Whisky and More, Waikato $16.99, The Good Wine Co, Auckland $17.99, Fine Wine Delivery Company, Auckland $17.99, First Glass Wines and Spirits $17.99
Food match?
- Great on its own without the complication of food. Onion tart is my favourite. Hawaian Pizza is also a good match.
Will it keep?
- I prefer fresh, youthful Riesling but they can become quite interesting with age – mellow and toasty.
