For April’s wine of the month we have a something a little different, in a dry Riesling from Germany.

Kendermanns Riesling has nuances of Apricot and Lime, this delicious Riesling is full of fruit and very refreshing. Great on its own, or with dishes such as stir fry, white meat or fish.

It is also a personal favourite of mine featuring a few years ago, so it’s good to have it back!
