Riesling
Riesling is one of the world’s great white grape varieties, prized for its high acidity, aromatic intensity and exceptional ability to express vineyard site. It can produce everything from bone-dry, mineral wines to intensely sweet, long-lived dessert styles.

What to Expect in the Glass
Riesling typically combines high acidity with precise citrus and stone-fruit flavours. Cooler regions often give leaner, mineral styles, while warmer sites produce riper peach and apricot notes. The grape can range from bone-dry to intensely sweet while retaining freshness and ageing potential.
