Variety: Riesling

Riesling is Riesling is a white grape variety which originates in the Rhine region of Germany. where it has been cultivated since the 1400s or earlier, and where it is made into wines that run the gamut from bone dry and crisp quaffers to the complex, unctuous nectars made from Botrytis-affected, shriveled berries, individually late-picked, and known by the moniker Trockenbeerenauslese.

Delicious at any sugar level, with its intense aromas and steely acidity. Often assumed to be the producer of only sweet wines, Riesling is a fascinating grape of many faces.
