From Forrest Wines, The Doctors' 2019 Riesling is produced from sustainably-grown wine grapes from Marlborough, South Island. Low in alcohol at 9% abv means you can have a glass or two of this delicious off-dry Riesling with lime zest, orange blossom and chalky, briny mineral flavours that linger on the palate. Drink or hold.

Riesling food pairings: mild curries, pad Thai, grilled pork sausages, BBQ pork chops.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Light and very pretty Riesling. Aromas of fresh lime and lime zest, white flowers, and lots of stony, chalky minerality. Off-dry on the palate, light and refreshing (only 9% ABV) with medium+ acidity, a nice roundness on the texture, with tons of ripe, rounded citrus notes. Finish is dry with some of that stony minerality lingering. Enjoy with ceviche or any seafood appetizers.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
