One of the greatest white grape
varieties on planet is Riesling. Why? First of all, it’s relatively easy to
grow as compared to other varietals and what you get out of the vineyard
basically goes into the bottle. There’s very little manipulation in the winery
and it remains pure as it does not see oak. Secondly, it is extremely
versatile. It can be made bone dry, dry, medium dry, medium sweet or even
extremely sweet. It is very susceptible to noble rot making some amazing
dessert-style wines. Riesling Icewine is fabulous and probably the best in the
world. Some great sparkling wines are made from it as well. From a taste
perspective, it has great acidity that makes it amazingly food-friendly and
age-worthy.
