The Doctors Riesling

John and Brigid Forrest are The Doctors (yep, they’re real doctors!) and they recommend regular doses of this multi award winning Riesling that’s gained cult like status. The Doctors Riesling

They put it best when they say “Like biting into a deliciously crisp granny smith apple, licking lime sherbet and apricot, all at one time! So easy to drink, with the perfect balance of fruit sweetness and fresh acidity at a modest 9% alcohol. Perfect for your modern lifestyle.”

If you’ve tried this before you’ll know why it’s got a huge following. It’s pure deliciousness from first sip and quite frankly, hard not to love!

Scoring 91/100 and receiving a Top Value Award with The Real Review’s Stephen Wong MW (Stephen also picked it as a Buy of the Week) – he said “A delicate medium-dry style of riesling, The Doctors’ is beautifully balanced at a very light 9.0% alcohol, piercing acidity and a finely-tuned 43 grams per litre of residual sugar—which has a perception of sweetness about half of the actual measurement.”

It comes from the excellent 2024 vintage and can be approached now or allowed to develop toasty complexity over the next few years. Great value for the price.

It’s a touch on the sweeter side and balanced to perfection. We love this wine and always keep a couple of bottles in the staff fridge, especially over the warmer months. Serve this one up as a pre-dinner tipple or with spicy Asian dishes.
