Saving the world from bad wine!
The Riesling grape produces white wines that are highly aromatic and which have immense finesse. This grape variety was one of the most successful worldwide in the 60's and 70's when wine was starting to make more of an impression in our houses, pubs and restaurants. Back then, wines such as Laski Riesling, Liebfraumilch and Blue Nun were seen as good quality.

The Riesling grape produces white wines that are highly aromatic and which have immense finesse. This grape variety was one of the most successful worldwide in the 60's and 70's when wine was starting to make more of an impression in our houses, pubs and restaurants. Back then, wines such as Laski Riesling, Liebfraumilch and Blue Nun were seen as good quality. Now, these sorts of wines are derided as being the lowest quality and the likes of Schloss Johannisberg regularly show the wine world what world-class Riesling can truly taste like.
Riesling wine flavours and aromas depend very much on the areas it is grown. A riesling grown in Alsace will have a very different flavour profile than one grown in the Mosel. In general, they have a grapey flavour, mixed with racy acidity, sometimes an aroma of petrol and occasionally they smell 'sweet'. This is because many are harvested when the sugar profile is high which leads to lighter alcohol white wines with immense flavours. Regardless of how you like your Riesling, there is no doubting its place in the white wine hierarchy.
Some people insist it's pronounced 'ree sling" while others prefer 'rise ling".
Some of the wines we sell are dry, some medium and some sweet so please read the descriptions and sweetness factors.
