Welcome to the Wonderful World of Riesling

Riesling is one of the world’s most versatile wines. Made in a wide range of styles, it’s the ultimate wine to pair with food and a true pleasure to sip. And while it originated in Germany, Riesling today is grown in many regions around the globe. More than any other wine, Riesling’s aroma and taste reflect the unique terroir of its region and vineyard, so each time you taste a new Riesling… you’re exploring the world!

DRY, MEDIUM DRY, MEDIUM SWEET OR SWEET?

Use our Riesling Taste Profile

Riesling comes in such a wide range of styles, it helps to have a guide!

That’s why we developed the Riesling Taste Profile, an easy-to-read indicator of where a wine fits on the dry-to-sweet scale.

Based on IRF guidelines for the interplay of sugar, acid and pH, winemakers calculate where to place the arrow on the profile for use on the back label to help consumers choose the Riesling that best matches their taste.
