($22, Carolina Wine Company): The location of Paul Cluver winery in the cool Elgin Valley southeast of Cape Town explains why they excel with Riesling, a variety that thrives in cooler climes.  This dry one has a touch of minerality to accompany the bracing lime-like acidity.  Plenty of substance balances its overall invigorating nature, making it a lively choice for spicy Asian fare of a meaty fish dish, such as grilled swordfish.
