Riesling is considered the finest grape of them all, producing wines of varying sweetness with grape, apple and mineral flavours, yet it lacks the popularity of Chardonnay. At its best, it makes long-lived, elegant, racy wines that take on superb complexity with age (developing notes of honey and diesel!). True Riesling originated in Germany where, along with Alsace, some of its greatest wines are still made. It is also very much 'á la mode' in the New World. It's not the sticky, sugary stuff that gave German wine a bad name. Made in varying sweetnesses (dry through to very sweet), its high acidity levels keep everything elegant and in balance.
