A hidden gem among Aldi's new range, this is super value for an aged dry Riesling (with 1.7% Pinot Gris). Made by Freeman's Bay, it boasts complex aromas and intense flavours of roasted lime, jasmine and tangy lime curd on toast, with a lovely grippy texture and racy, mineral acidity. Lipsmacking, with just a hint of sweetness on the finish.
