Chateau Ste. Michelle, Dry Riesling, Columbia Valley, USA, 2018
The judges in our Global Riesling Masters were delighted to find this crisp white wine from the Columbia Valley AVA in Washington State, not just because it was delicious, but also because it was extremely affordable at around £12 a bottle.
What the judges said:
A lovely ripe concentrated style of Riesling, with masses of fresh peachy fruit, and a long linear almost biting finish. A wine of purity, intensity, freshness and fantastic value.
