Winemaker’s Comments

This off-dry white wine features a delicate hint of fruit and a touch of sugar to give it a softer taste. A similar freshness is found on the palate where restrained appley fruit flavours provide a crisp, dry edge. Essentially a wine to enjoy young for uncomplicated, easy-drinking. Cape Riesling is excellent with salads, chicken casseroles and pasta.
