Tony Aspler’s Wine Pick of the Week: Jacob’s Creek Reserve Riesling 2010
By Tony Aspler
A delicious stand-up sipper. I usually don’t look to Australia for Riesling, but this wine surprised me. Straw colour; developing petrol notes on the nose; lime and grapefruit with a honeyed note; slight spritz on the palate with a sweet and sour flavour; initially off-dry and then dries out on the finish with lively citrus acidity. Food match: pork chop, Thai dishes.
Barossa Valley, $16.95, LCBO #212704.
