Wine Suggestion

Region: Clare Valley SA

Petaluma Riesling is one of Australia’s finest examples of this noble variety. Pale straw in colour the palate exhibits lemon and grapefuit flavours matched by some fresh and racy acidity. Sourced from the home of great Australian Riesling, this trademark Clare Valley aromatic white is wonderful when opened upon release and like all great Rieslings, will develop brilliant toasty characters over a 10 year period in the bottle.

Rieslings have a citrus lemon quality to them that will match the lime flavours of the marinated beef.
