A Taste of Australian
Wine
'Rieslings'
by Gavin Trott
Can the Aussies produce as fine a Riesling
as the Germans?
"Riesling is the grape most associated with Germany, where the
best examples of it are stunning, world class wines. Here in Australia
we are probably the only other country to give this fabulous grape the
care and attention it deserves. Indeed, for many years it was the most
popular Australian white wine, only recently succumbing to the world wide
fashion trend of Chardonnay. To me it still produces more good wines,
and perhaps more to the point, less bad wines, than Chardonnay."
