Riesling

One of the world’s most expressive white grapes, Riesling offers piercing acidity and remarkable aging potential. Few grapes rival Riesling’s sheer brilliance and longevity. At its freshest, it bursts with green apple, lime zest, and white peach, all wrapped in a crystalline minerality. With time, honeyed complexity, kerosene, and spice emerge, adding depth to its high-wire balance of sweetness and acidity. German Rieslings showcase this best, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, while Alsace and Australia each bring their own distinctive character. Always aromatically expressive, Riesling remains one of the most transparent windows into terroir, capable of thrilling precision in youth and spellbinding intricacy with age. A grape for purists, scholars, and the patient.
