Riesling is one of the world's most famous and respected white grapes. It is originally from Germany but is now grown all over the world, including Alsace in France, Australia, New Zealand, USA, South Africa, Chile and Argentina. The Riesling grape produces a variety of wine styles, from sweet dessert wines to dry, powerful wines with high acidity.
The Riesling grape is characterized by its sweet taste of fruit, including apricot, apple and lime. It is also known for having a high acidity that makes it an excellent balance between sweetness and dryness. Riesling is also known to have a complex aroma of flowers, and sometimes also a mineral taste.
The Riesling grape thrives in cold climates and requires a long ripening period to achieve the best balance between sweetness and acidity. It is one of the most resistant grapes to pests, but is sensitive to diseases that can affect its quality and production.
Riesling wine is a versatile drink that goes well with a variety of dishes, including fish, seafood, salads and poultry. It is also a popular drink for sweet dessert dishes and is often used in sparkling wine production.
