California Riesling

Riesling is an aromatic variety known for its high acidity and floral aromas, which tend to develop in cooler growing regions. It is the main winegrape of Germany, but has significant plantings throughout the world. In California, Riesling is also known by its botanical name White Riesling.

Riesling is used to make a wide range of wines from dry to sweet, and is sometimes used in sparkling wines. The grape is known to express the place in which it is grown, yet maintains its varietal character. Riesling is often described as flowery, honey-like and complex, as well as spicy and lingering on the palate. Ice wine, late harvest and botrytized Rieslings are among the most appreciated and age-worthy examples.
