Riesling

Aromatic German grape

Riesling is a white wine grape variety originating in Germany's Rhine region, and the wine made from it.

Rieslings range from bone-dry to intensely sweet, with characteristic high acidity and floral, fruity aromas.

The grape thrives in cool climates: a dry Alsatian Riesling, German Riesling with notes of petrol and green apple.

Considered among the world's finest white wine grapes.
