"If you have yet to taste this classic New World style, it's high time you did. Fatter, riper spicier and more alcoholic than the German equivalent, this aromatic, tart, vibrant verdant, citrus peel-spiked 2006 weighs in at 13 per cent alcohol, makes a wonderful summer food wine, and is a whizz with fish in particular."

"If you've been put off Riesling because of its residual sweetness in the past, this Aussie example from the Clare Valley should see you right. It's rich and almost oily with zesty acidity and lovely lime-zest fruit."
