Description
Riesling tends to be fine and light-bodied, with acidity just short of sharp. Depending on the winemaker’s choices during vinification, Riesling can be sweet or dry. Riesling can have hints of apple, melon, honey, and a nip of spice.
Aging
Riesling can be drunk young, or aged for anywhere from a decade to 50 years, depending on the variety.
Regon
Riesling is produced in Australia, Austria, Germany, France, and the U.S. The preeminent Riesling is produced in Germany, though Johannisberg Riesling from California is quite good as well.
Food Pairings
Riesling pairs well with a wide variety of foods, from seafood to wild game and fruit to Asian cuisine.
