2023 ESV Riesling

"Perfect timing with this super-fresh ESV Riesling (2023) from Lunessence Winery and Vineyard with an intense nose of fresh sliced apples, pear, cinnamon and anise spice with delicate, citrusy and minerally flavours on the palate.

Perfect for a hot summer's day or picnic, the wine is medium-bodied and whets your appetite with a touch of residual sugar to balance out its eye-winking acidity (for food) and finishes long and sassy.

Chill and enjoy it with smoked salmon Bennies, brunch dishes or a cheese fondue. We tried it with a ripe Cambozola cheese, fresh cut pears and some red fig jam on a baguette, it was a fantastic and yummy pairing. The acidity on the wine was a beautiful balance to the richness of the cheese and that titch of sweetness complimented the Cambozola's savouriness."
