Buying Riesling wine online – what to look for

Riesling is a versatile white grape variety, which can produce tastes with different styles, depending on how it is handled. Due to its sophisticated reputation, it’s known to be one of the classier options on modern shelves.

In terms of taste, you can expect a distinctly fruity flavour. This type of drop is typically made with late-harvested grapes, producing a unique blend of hints like honey, apricots or peaches. This variety can be heavy or light, depending on the grape’s ripeness, climate and the use of oak.

It was first produced in Germany, although it is now widely produced in places all around the world. Many other countries, such as the United States, have also started to produce their own style of this classic crowd favourite.

Often classified as a semi-dry or sweet wine, you’re likely to find Riesling accompanying desserts. When vino is produced using the dry method, it’s typically noted for its bitterness, making it ideal to drink on its own or with meals. It is also especially nice with Asian dishes.

How to enjoy your chosen bottle

This particular vino pairs nicely with both sweet and spicy dishes, and can brighten up a dish that features heavier ingredients. For example, this delicious drop is often paired with curries, chutneys and mango-based sauces – but it’s equally as delicious alongside fresh vegetables, such as asparagus, green beans and broccoli.

This variety also pairs well with spicy foods such as Chinese or Indian dishes, particularly those that contain honey. It’s great with Mediterranean cuisines of all kinds, making it a versatile accompaniment to work with.
