Riesling

Season Overview

Description

Riesling is one of the best-known and finest white wine varieties in the world and is particularly valued for its versatility and longevity. Originally from Germany, Riesling is now considered one of the most important grape varieties in cooler wine-growing regions. Here is a detailed description of the variety: - Riesling berries are small, round and have a greenish-yellow to golden-yellow color. - Riesling is known for its lively acidity and fresh aromas. The grape is characterized by notes of citrus fruits (such as lemon and lime), green apple, apricot, peach and floral notes. As it matures, honey-like and petrol-like nuances are often added, making it particularly complex. - Riesling is a late-ripening variety that reaches its optimum ripeness late in the year, making it ideal for cool climates.

Growing tips

Riesling thrives best in cooler regions, as the vine retains its acidity well even when harvested late. It is mainly cultivated in Germany, Austria, Alsace (France), but also in the USA (especially in Washington State) and Australia.
