We sat down to eat it with a glass of King Valley Cookoothama Riesling 2005. It changed my mind about riesling. I must say, quite crisp, lively on the palate and great pairing with this dish.

This lovely wine from Cookoothama comes from the King Valley in Victoria and is a very easy drinking style. It has an aromatic nose or honeysuckle and citrus blossom, which is both fresh and inviting.

Pale straw in colour with subtle grassy hues. Aromatic nice with an intense estery fruit lift. The lively palate delivers loads of lingering, tangy lemon flavours balanced by zesty acidity.

A wine of instant appeal for enjoying right now, a juicy style that is neither too limey nor too steely and with just enough soft acidity to balance the ripe fruit flavour. We need more rieslings like this.
