Best riesling wine 20168/24/2023 ![]() If you want something fuller bodied, seek out the Entre Duas Quintas (£8.99) from Portugal’s Douro Valley, full of dark fruit flavours and a good tannic grip. Fresh and filled with spicy red berry character, and some savoury notes of tomato leaf, with a little earthiness too, it’s an impressive example of the style for just under a tenner. Among the red line-up, my must-try in this Wine Tour has to be the Etna Rosso (£9.99), which blends native grapes Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, grown at altitude on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Try the fun and fragranced Zibibbo from Sicily (£7.99), the classy Mosel Sauvignon Blanc made by respected producer Markus Molitor (£9.99) and the zesty, peachy and well-priced Rheingau Riesling (£7.49).Ĭabriz (£8.49) is a regular in Lidl’s rosé line-up, and this 2022 vintage is a great-value alternative to a Provence rosé, offering the same pale hue and elegant redcurrant, white peach flavours. Meanwhile the white line-up includes a good selection of fresh, aromatic, unoaked styles that are perfect for summer sipping outside. The sparkling wines on offer include the impressive, toasty Cava Amorany Reserve Brut (£8.99), plus a couple of fun and fruity sparkling wines from Lombardy in northern Italy, under the Lebollé brand – one a blend of Pinot Noir and Viognier, the other a Pinot Noir rosé, slightly sweeter (both are priced at £7.99). Italy, France, Spain and Germany are particular highlights. Like the Spring Wine Tour, this is another eclectic line-up, spanning different styles and regions – though focusing more on Europe than the New World. Sometimes the Lidl Wine Tours have a theme – focusing, for instance, on France or Italy (Lidl tends to be stronger on European than Old World wines). ![]() September releases 2022: full score table.Rhône 2021 score table: top white wines.March releases on the Place de Bordeaux 2023.
