varietal characteristic

1. Riesling ripens very slowly, which also makes Riesling grapes perform well in memory. In the process of brewing, grapes and grape juice should be treated gently, with as little interference as possible, and their delicate, fresh and simple characteristics should be kept as much as possible. Wine made from Riesling grapes has a variety of styles, ranging from dry wine to sweet wine, as well as high-quality wine, noble wine and iced wine.

2. Young Riesling wine is fruity, with elegant floral fragrance, fresh and pleasant aroma of mixed plants, honey and minerals. Most Riesling wines have good aging ability, but the aged Riesling wines change from light green to deep gold in appearance, and the aroma is more complex, with a slight gasoline smell and a very charming aroma of ripe fruit and honey on the basis of floral fragrance.

3. Different climatic conditions will give Riesling different styles. In cool weather conditions, such as Mosel in Germany, Riesling wine has fresh grape and apple flavors; In warm areas such as Alsace in Alsace, France and Clare Valley in Clare Valley, Australia, it has more citrus and peach fragrance.

1. Riesling, Germany:

65% of Riesling in the world is planted in Germany, and 95% of German good wines are brewed from it. In Germany, riesling is planted in almost all 13 producing areas, but in terms of classics, riesling in three producing areas is better.

(1). Moses Moselle

Mo Ze region, because of its geographical location in the north, has a cold continental climate as a whole. The terrain of the producing area is unique, and the location of the vineyard is influenced by the sunlight reflected by the Moze River, which can obtain a lot of heat to make the vineyard mature. Secondly, because the soil in this area is mainly slate and other rock and soil, it has excellent air permeability and outstanding heat storage function, which is also conducive to the perfect ripening of grapes and can add mineral flavor to wine. Riesling produced in this area has a cool climate, light body, low alcohol content, high crisp acidity and strong floral fragrance.

② rheingau, rheingau

Rheingau is one of the smallest but most important German producing areas and the cradle of Riesling. Rheingau has mild winters and warm summers. The forest in the nearby Annous Mountain blocks the cold wind in winter for the vineyards here, and the sunlight reflected by the Rhine River provides light and heat for the grapes to ripen. There are many kinds of soils in the producing areas, which can give wine a unique mineral flavor. The traditional rheingau Riesling is usually dry, fragrant, fruity, with outstanding acidity and concentrated flavor. Moreover, due to the high humidity in the producing area, it is beneficial to the growth of Guifei wine and can also brew high-quality sweet Riesling.

(3) Falc Pfalcz

Falc is the second largest wine producing area in Germany and one of the warmest wine producing areas in Germany, with the least sunshine and precipitation. The place of origin is abundant in sunshine and rich in soil types. Faz's traditional Riesling is dry, with delicate taste, softer acidity than Mo Ze, full-bodied and strong taste. However, the local sweet Riesling has outstanding acidity and round taste.
