White grape 🇩🇪 Rhine, Germany

Riesling

/ REES-ling / · Also known as Weisser Riesling, Johannisberg Riesling, Rheinriesling

Electric acidity and pure fruit — bone dry to lusciously sweet.

Riesling is intensely aromatic and never hides behind oak. Its hallmark is razor-sharp acidity, which keeps even the sweetest styles fresh. From dry Austrian Smaragd to delicate Mosel Kabinett, it's one of the few whites that ages beautifully for decades.
