Stoneleigh Riesling, Marlborough, New Zealand

As snappy and fresh as a spring day, this wine demonstrates that New Zealand isn’t just for sauvignon blanc anymore. Vibrantly aromatic and reminiscent of Meyer lemons and Granny Smith apples, this off-dry riesling is a perfect partner for spicy or sweet-tart summer foods. Try some with ceviche or this summer’s vine-ripe Jersey tomatoes.
