Riesling

Riesling, we know this grape mostly from Germany and the Alsace de Riesling can also be found in other countries nowadays, the origin of the Riesling dates back to the 14th century, where it was already planted in the Rhine valley in Germany. More than 22,000 hectares have already been planted in Germany, in the Reingau 80% of Riesling is already planted, most in the Pfalz and Mosel.

The Riesling is a grape that ripens late, we mainly find it in Germany in the central and southern areas of Germany, the northern areas are actually too cold for the Riesling.

The Rieling does well in a cool climate and, like the Chardonnay, allows the soil where it is planted to taste very well in the wine, as an example is the minerality of the Moselle wines

Because the Riesling reflects the soil where it is planted well in its wine, there are many types and differences in character of the Riesling, but in general aromas of Apple, Peach, Apricots, with a good acidity.andlt;/ pandgt;

The Riesling from the Palatinate with its own microclimate will be more exotic and juicy, whereas the wines from the Moselle contain more mineral notes.

In a cool climate with a beautiful late summer, this late-ripening Riesling can produce beautiful wines.
