Peter Lehmann Wigan Riesling 2003

A while ago, after I disapproved of one of their Chenin Blancs, a Peter Lehman winemaker suggested I try their Rieslings. I finally found one at Oddbins that looked like it was worth trying. It was heavily discounted - it was around £11 but normally went for about £16 (which seems overpriced to me).

It is a lovely wine indeed, and everything a good Eden Valley Riesling should be. It's citrus and petrol on the nose, and all minerals, lemon and a touch of kerosene on the palate, with good acidity. Delicious stuff - I need to work out the best food match for Aussie Rieslings, any suggestions?
