"Anew Riesling is perfect for the woman who enjoys an active, healthy lifestyle but also seeks time to relax and rejuvenate," said Rebekah Gunderson, associate marketing manager for Anew. "The slender and elegant Anew bottle and stylized floral label evoke a feminine sensibility and invites a moment of relaxation. This delicately crafted wine offers a small indulgence for those who live a balanced lifestyle."

Anew Riesling offers a harmonious blend of pure fruit flavors, heightened aromatics and balanced acidity.  Expressive flavors of fresh peach, citrus and a hint of spice lead in to a refreshing finish. This versatile wine can be enjoyed on its own, and also pairs beautifully with spicy Asian dishes, smoked salmon, lobster salad, blue cheese or pasta with light sauces.

Anew Riesling is available nationally for the suggested retail price of $11, a popular price point in wine sales. Recent AC Nielsen data reveals a positive dollar sales trend of wines in the $10-$14.99 price range. Total table wines in this category grew 10.4% over the past 26 weeks.¹
