The 30 Mile Riesling is the perfect thirst quencher on a hot summer day. With citrus fruits and bright green apple notes, this wine packs a punch with some puckering acidity to boot. This wine has some staying power, yet as soon as it is out of the fridge and in your mouth, good luck having it last the hour.

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 ‘90s, 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: Riesling bottles are thinner due to the way they were traditionally transported. They were sent via rivers, which means to fit the smaller boats, the bottles had to be thinner than traditional Bordeaux or Burgundy bottles.
