Pasquale 16 Riesling 2010

New Zealand is producing a lot of high quality rizza’a with a Germanic slant. This wine balances those sweet flavours with mesmerising acidity and texture. The entry of the wine is the best as it gives everything up front. It is the sort of wine that would work brilliantly with French style entrees or Asian flavours. The flavours of lime and freshly ripened pears match the lemon blossom and poached apples nicely and could cut through the spiciness of Asian dishes while still managing to take second fiddle to the experience.
