Riesling wines can span a broad range of styles, being produced in
both dry and sweet variations. Riesling wine aromas lean towards
the fruity-side with apple, peach and pear standing at the forefront
mixed with delicate floral undertones.
Riesling wines grapes need cooler climates and they produce both
refreshing light-bodied wines and full-bodied table wines to pair with
the greatest cuisine. Riesling wine has a very high natural acidity,
which both balances the sugar in sweeter wines and acts as a
preservative for long ageing.
Riesling wines tend to pick up flavoring from the mineral content in
the soils they are grown in, making it common for hints of slate or
stone to make their way into the aroma and flavor of Riesling wines.
True Riesling wines have two dominant aliases, Johannisberg Riesling and
White Riesling both of which refer to the authentic wine made from
the Riesling grape.
Riesling Wine Tip:
Riesling wine is brilliant with fish, shell-fish, poultry, cold meat
and dishes such as sauerkraut or smoked ham. |
