Dessert and sweet wines explained: late harvest, noble rot and icewineSauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Grigio: choosing a crisp whiteThis is extremely appetising already, with orange, honey and some savoury herbal notes to begin with; opening to reveal spicy resinous and floral scents, and classic maturing beeswax character. In the mouth, it’s dry yet full-textured, and shows greengage, honey, orange and apricot flavours, before finishing with Champagne-like green apple character. Very long on the palate, but it’s not yet giving all it has - this deserves keeping a bit to show its full potential.

- Recork and refrigerate after opening.
- Look for trocken on a German label if you want a dry Riesling.
Common questions
Why does old Riesling smell of petrol?
With age, a natural compound in Riesling can develop an aroma often described as petrol or kerosene. It is a recognised feature of mature Riesling, not a fault.
Is Riesling sweet?
Not always. Many Rieslings are dry, especially from Alsace, Australia and German wines labelled trocken. Others are off dry or sweet, so check the label and ABV.
