11dec-white-wine-hero

Five wines get our maximum 5-star rating. One was an excellent value riesling.

Our tasting found plenty of white wines worthy of a spot at your Christmas table. The tasting list was a mix of summery still whites and – with the festive season in mind – a selection of sparkling wines.

Kiwi wines dominated the tasting: only one was an Aussie.
