The Revival of Riesling
The Revival of Riesling
Rieslings have been misunderstood and overlooked for decades. It is a grape varietal that has a refreshing, everyday appeal yet it is immediately thought of as a semi sweet alternative to dry white wine. In reality, it is a versatile grape that can assume a wide spectrum of diverse flavor profiles ranging from crisp mineral and lemon-grass-driven acidity to delicate floral attributes with hidden fresh fruit notes of green apple, citrus and white nectarine. If you opt for more exotic tropical notes, you can find them in late-harvest renditions. Either way, you have a wealth of options and countries to choose from that are sure to offer you an elegant and harmonious white that can find affinity with Mediterranean cuisine, balance the heat in spice-inspired recipes or will glisten on its own during a warm summer day.
