The grape

Riesling

Best known in Mosel, Alsace, Clare Valley

One of the world's great white grapes. Lime, apple, peach and floral notes, with bright, racy acidity. Made in every style from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and capable of ageing for decades, when it develops honey and toasty notes.

Where it's from

Waipara Valley

New Zealand

North Canterbury, on New Zealand's South Island, a short drive north of Christchurch. Limestone-rich soils, warm dry days and cool nights suit Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. The wines combine ripe fruit with bright acidity and a mineral edge. A smaller, characterful alternative to Marlborough.
