What Is Riesling?
Riesling is named after the variety of grape the wine is made from. The riesling grape is a white grape that can be harvested in many ways, making it one of the most versatile grapes. These grapes are rarely aged in oak or blended with other wines because their taste is appreciated on their own without additions.
How to Drink Riesling
The riesling grape makes a wine that comes in different levels of dryness. It is often said to have apple, peach and pear flavors with undertones of honey and mild spices. It pairs well with desserts and has a sweet flavor of its own without being overly sugary. It can also work well with spicy, ethnic dishes like those with Asian or Latin flavors. For those who aren't familiar with white wines, it can be helpful to ask an expert as these wines are classified by a unique system that tells much about their flavor.
