Riesling,(rees ling), is sweet to off-​dry for the most part.

The most famous wines made from this grape are made in Ger­many. Many of them sweet but always refresh­ing and full of char­ac­ter! If you pre­fer a drier style Ries­ling from Ger­many, look for the term: trocken (mean­ing dry).

France makes a drier style in the Alsace region that is ele­gant with a min­eral com­po­nent that I find delightful!

Ries­ling has high acid­ity and low alco­hol con­tent and can com­monly be fruity and floral.

Pair this wine with shell­fish or fruit desserts…YUM!
