Alkoomi Late Harvest White is a selection of late-harvested grapes (predominantly Riesling), which offer a balance between sweet fruit and zesty acidity. There's loads of candied citrus, pineapple and peach, with some honeysuckle and caramel in there as well. Very charming!

Origin: Rhine Valley, Germany. Mainly Grown In: Germany, Australia, France, Austria, USA. Key Facts: Queen of precision, delicacy, and purity, Riesling is one of the few varieties that's as well known for world-class sweet wines as for bone dry. It has a drool-inducing nose of lime, apricot and honeysuckle and a palate can range from enamel-etching sour apple (in a good way), to godly nectar that satisfies desires you didn’t even know you craved to fill. Shamefully misunderstood due to the mass production of sloppily made sweet versions in the late ’80s and early 90’s, Riesling has far overcome this poor reputation and claims some of the most honourable seats in the most coveted wine collections of the world. Fun Fact: When Riesling tastes somewhere between sweet and dry, it is called "off-dry". Like this wine.
