Details
The Courtesan Riesling is delicately poised, with acid to burn but with just enough citrus-flavoured fruit to balance it out. Lots of green apple and orange mixed in with the usual lime suspects. Fine-boned, light on its feet and very juicy, this is a lovely generous expression of the Clare Valley style.

Wild & Wilder is a winery that, in their own words, is 'all about good clean fun.' They just happen to create delicious wines as well. Working hand in hand with a collection of trusted growers, they take fruit from the Barossa, Langhorne Creek, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills and make a great collection of wines, without any of the pretension that often infiltrates modern Australian wineries. We can relate to that! The wines are made with a lot of love by people that know that wine is all about good times, tasty food and creating great memories. The team of viticulturists and winemakers work in tandem to find great parcels of fruit that translate into memorable wines. The overall aim is to offer benchmark varietal expressions with a quirky twist - a modern take if you will, on classic Australian wines. The Courtesan Riesling is delicately poised, with acid to burn but with just enough citrus-flavoured fruit to balance it out. Lots of green apple and orange mixed in with the usual lime suspects. Fine-boned, light on its feet and very juicy, this is a lovely generous expression of the Eden Valley style.

Pairing guide
Australian Riesling, like this gorgeous bottle from Wild & Wilder, is the sommelier’s favourite for many good reasons. Top of that list, however, has to be the fact that its stunning balance means that it’s about as food-friendly as a white wine can get, and it pairs beautifully with such an exciting array of dishes. This wine is going to be just as happy alongside a grilled salmon fillet in cream sauce as it is next to a steaming bowl of Thai prawn noodle soup, as it is with a classic Caesar salad. Versatile, delicious, and refreshing - the ideal wine for a thousand different dinners!
