Pure, aromatic, age-worthy
Many experts call Riesling the greatest white grape of all. It's prized for its piercing aromatics, racy acidity, transparency to terroir, and an astonishing ability to age — all usually without oak.
- Its spiritual home is Germany, especially the steep slate slopes of the Mosel.
- Also superb in Alsace (France) and Australia's Clare/Eden Valleys.
- Can be made bone-dry, off-dry, or intensely sweet.
