THE MOOD
Bright, aromatic and a little bit electric. The first pour of the evening, while dinner's still coming together.
THE TASTE
Lime, peach and floral honey. Light-bodied, with the crisp acidity Riesling is loved for.
THE STORY
Riesling is the Rhine's own grape, and this one is crafted right there, on the river in Rüdesheim, Germany. BonBon starts as real wine: grapes, fermentation, the works. Then the alcohol is drawn out gently at low temperature, so the aroma, freshness and structure stay behind. The labels are made with contemporary artists, including Spanish illustrator José Miguel Méndez and London's Hattie Stewart. It's a bottle you'll want on the table, and maybe on the shelf after. Under 0.5% alc./vol., 26 calories a glass. Just landed in Victoria, and our first allocation is small.
THE RITUAL
Serve at 8–10°C in a white wine glass. Brilliant with Asian dishes, fresh starters, goat cheese or lemon sorbet. Once opened, keep it cold and finish within 3–5 days.
