Impressive range

Hardly any other grape variety produces as many different types of wine as Riesling: from bone dry to luxuriously sweet. However, Riesling is a cool climate variety - so is unlikely to thrive in southern regions.

Where it grows:

  • in Germany
  • in Austria
  • in Alsace
  • In Italy, Riesling is only found occasionally as a blending ingredient and even more rarely as a single-variety wine

What it tastes like:

  • the most striking characteristic of Riesling is its acidity: hardly any grape variety has higher acidity levels
  • the grape boasts aromas of citrus fruit, peach and apricot
  • on barren terroir, it can have a very mineral taste with a flint-like aroma
  • upon maturity, a characteristic petrol note appears

What it goes with:

  • fish and seafood
  • smoked salmon
  • Riesling is the secret weapon for any kind of smoked dish
  • ...and Asian cuisine!
