Riesling Wine

One of the finest white wine grapes, used for the best white wines of Germany and some of the best of Austria as well. Its yield is small and it ripens later than other varieties, but its wines are highly perfumed and have an exceptional ability to express Terroir.

Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling white wines. Riesling wines are usually pure and are seldom oaked. Furthermore, in terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling is a variety which is highly "terroir-expressive" meaning that the character of Riesling wines is clearly influenced by the wine's place of origin.
