    Strap yourself in and get ready for the ride. After all “this wine takes off in the mouth” say the Cuisine magazine judges. “Propelled by high-revving, racy acidity…leaving a trail of floral and apple notes, together with an underlying minerality.”

    Esk’s 2014 Marlborough Riesling is definitely flying high after picking up 5 Stars & Best Buy in Cuisine’s annual line up of Rieslings (and picked as 3rd best overall!).

    This is a dry, refreshing style that Cuisine reckon is the wine to pair with garlicky Spanish fish stew. Or if garlicky Spanish fish stews aren’t your digs (we’d understand!), try Asian cuisine like Thai, Indian or Chinese. Wines like this have great cellaring potential too – drink it now and over the next 7-8 years.
