What is Riesling?
Riesling is a white grape variety native to Germany, where it has been cultivated for centuries along the Rhine and Mosel rivers. The grape has a thin skin and ripens late, allowing it to develop a rich aroma. Thanks to its natural acidity, Riesling is known for excellent aging potential, even in lighter styles.
Origin and vineyards
Riesling's classic home is Germany, with regions like the Mosel, Rheingau, and Palatinate. Here, the vineyards benefit from steep slopes and slate soils that retain heat and allow the grapes to ripen slowly. Top-quality Rieslings are also produced in Alsace, Austria, Australia (Clare and Eden Valley), and the US (Finger Lakes, Washington State), each with its own unique style and character.
Grape and style
Riesling produces wines with a light, bright straw-yellow color that often has a greenish sheen when young. With aging, the color can deepen to a golden yellow. Aromas range from citrus, green apple, and peach to floral and mineral notes. Sweet styles—such as Spätlese or Auslese—demonstrate honey and tropical fruit, while dry Riesling remains crisp and fresh. A balance between fruit and lively acidity is always characteristic.
Storage and serving
Riesling is among the most aging white grapes. Dry styles often keep for five to ten years, while sweet Rieslings can age for decades and become more complex with aromas of honey and petroleum. Serve Riesling well chilled: around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius for fresh styles and 10 to 12 degrees Celsius for richer varieties.
