Riesling

Riesling is a white wine grape which originated in Germany’s Rhine region. The grape is a floral grape variety that gives off perfumed aromas. Riesling can be used to create anything from sparkling wines to sweet ice wines. The variety is one of the top wines in line with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. In the mid 2000s, Riesling was one of the most popular varieties grown in Germany and in France. There are also many vineyards grown over Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, and China. The Riesling grape variety dates back to the 15th century under the term Rieblinge, but the term Riesling was first adopted in 1552 in documents. The wine variety is said to be a crossing of wild vines from the Rhine region, and DNA evidence shows that Riesling is actually related to Gouais Blanc. The grape variety is tender and has to be harvest carefully so the grapes are not crushed or bruised. Riesling pairs easily with food because of its moderate amount of sugar and acidity. The wine pairs nicely with foods that are spicy or have strong flavors and also goes well with pork and white fish.

Wolfberger Alsace Edelzwicker 2020 (liter)

Wolfberger Alsace Edelzwicker is made from 40 % Pinot Blanc, 30% Riesling, 15% Gewurztraminer and 15 % Muscat

Edelzwicker has a nose of grilled almonds and walnuts, with a light floral hint following. The first sip shows its true character: fresh and lemony with vegetal, herbaceous flavor. It is round and easy drinking, not overpowering and finishes clean.

Each grape variety is harvested individually in early or mid-October on the most suitable date for each vineyard.

It is a good companion for food without ever dominating it. In Alsace it is served by the glass or in large jugs to partner regional specialties. In general Edelzwicker goes well with fresh salads, cold or warm starters, but also with oysters, mussels and seafood. It should always be served chilled, around 10 ° C.

Patton Valley Petillant Naturel Riesling 2019

Patton Valley Petillant Naturel Riesling is made from 100 percent Riesling.

Good friends and good wine make this funny world go ‘round, right? Without those friends letting us buy some of their precious Riesling, we couldn’t make this delicious wine. Even if we did have to beg. A little. 
We are using some really great vineyard sites to make this wine, and they are as diverse as they are excellent. Preserving the inherent “riesling-ness” is as important here as making this sparkle, so we’ve been extra careful to be clean, true, and simple with this. Native yeast ferments and minimal handling with fastidious cleanliness make this an absolute natural wonder. A small dosage of organic sugar kicks off the bottle ferment to make it sparkle.
This smells like apples, pears, apricot, and the sea. Not kidding. The palate is fizzy, fun, and fresh with an appley bite and pear - almond lushness. All angles and elbows, the lees and sediment widen the palate with pleasing breadth.

Bastgen Blauschiefer Riesling 2021

Bastgen Blauschiefer Riesling is 100 percent Riesling.

Bright, clean, fresh and zesty. Grapefruit like flavors. Fruity aromas and a nice minerality, typical of the Riesling grape grown on blue slate soil. Round, rich and a very long finish.

They meticulously tend 4.5 ha (11.11 acres) of which 80% is Riesling. The soil is made of slate. Their vineyards are located in Kesten and Brauneberg, on a steep terrace, and planted to 50-year old vines. Fortunately for Bastgen, they own part of the famous Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr. The vines produce very small, ripe berries that are very tasty.
