Tasting notes:

In 1875 the Valduga family emigrated from Rovereto (Trentino-Alto Adige) to Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), where, ever since, they have produced a vast range of high-quality red and white wines. This Riesling was a fascinating discovery for the judges. Pale lemon-yellow in colour, the delicate aromatics are fairly overt with orchard fruits accented by forest honey and an earthy mineral nuance. With definite sweetness framed by a pleasant acid lift, the mid-weight palate has undertones of lemon-lime, tangerine and herbs. Pair with cod steamed with white wine, lemon zest and pimento-stuffed green olives. [Patricia Stefanowicz MW]
