Lawson’s Dry Hills Riesling

Two years in the bottle have allowed this value-for-money riesling to build layers of toast, honey, mixed spice and baked apple complexity. It retains a primary core of lemon and lime zest fruit and a hint of pepper, which linger with impressive persistence and balance. Zippy acidity and finely mineral structure are toned by a subtle lick of sweetness on a well-textured finish. $18 at Discount Wines.
