Tonight I am on the the Asda ES Australian Riesling. I am waiting for a curry, and have been waiting long. A good maker here, Knapstein. I have drunk their wines before and enjoyed them.
This is dry and a bit oily on the nose as is expected from this style of Riesling. Nothing much to write home about here if you know what to expect of a Riesling, nor nothing to complain about either, it is a lovely balanced Riesling, plenty of lime acidity with good structure and a little flinty minerality. Petrol,. diesel, and general floralness.
The headline is the price, I paid less than a fiver for this good bottle, which is a solid Riesling. If I went to Marks and Sparks, who sell something really similar, I would be paying nearer to a tenner. Well done Asda.
