. Hugel Riesling 1993 (available, from many good wine shops, about £9.99).

A perennially popular Alsace Riesling from a reliable producer. Plenty of luscious fruit, racy acidity and a lingering aftertaste.

. Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Reserve 1992 (Findlaters, Redmoads, Verlings, about £9.95 also available from James Nicholson).

Another super attractive Alsatian this time with hints of citrus and greengage and a long, tangy finish.
