Riesling
Discover Riesling: Aromatic White Wine Guide
Riesling is a wonderfully versatile white grape, known for its vibrant acidity and expressive aromatics. Expect a spectrum from intensely fruity and floral notes like green apple and peach to honeyed sweetness, often with a refreshing minerality. Classic regions like Germany's Mosel and Alsace in France offer distinct expressions of this beloved varietal.
Tasting notes
Look for notes of lime, green apple, apricot, and sometimes a hint of petrol as it ages. Styles range from bone-dry (Trocken) to lusciously sweet (Spatlese, Auslese), with a characteristic high acidity that keeps it balanced.
Perfect food pairings
Its bright acidity and fruitiness make it a fantastic match for spicy Asian cuisine, pork dishes, and even richer seafood. Try it with Thai green curry or roasted duck for a delightful contrast.
One more thing
Don't shy away from 'off-dry' Rieslings, which have a touch of sweetness that complements many dishes. Look for terms like 'Kabinett' or 'Spätlese' from Germany for a good starting point.
