RIESLING WINE
Riesling is a white grape variety that is grown in many of the world’s wine regions. It is known for its aromatic qualities, high acidity, and ability to reflect the terroir of the region in which it is grown. Riesling wines can range from bone-dry to very sweet, and are often noted for their complex flavors, which can include notes of citrus, apple, peach, apricot, honey, and petrol.
Riesling is primarily associated with Germany, where it is the most widely planted grape variety. It is also grown in other countries such as Austria, France, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada. German Rieslings are often classified based on their sweetness levels, ranging from Kabinett (dry to off-dry) to Trockenbeerenauslese (extremely sweet).
Riesling is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, poultry, pork, spicy dishes, and Asian cuisine. It is also a popular wine for aging, with some of the best examples improving in flavor and complexity for decades.
