Right, I single out a wine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riesling

'a wine' is the definition.
(I know that Riesling is a type of Rhenish)

'right i single out' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'i'+'single'='isingle'
'isingle' anagrammed gives 'iesling'.
'r'+'iesling'='RIESLING'

(Other definitions for riesling that I've seen before include "Strange wine for Sir Ingle" , "Sir Ingle makes wine from this grape" , "Gin riles the wine" , "Dry white wine (German)" , "German/Austrian wine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
