Riesling: The Language of Place

If Pinot Noir is admired for expressing place through texture, Riesling does so through aroma. Few grape varieties communicate their origin as clearly. Climate, ripeness and vineyard location all leave a visible mark on the finished wine. Riesling can produce wines that are dry, off-dry or sweet. It can be light and delicate or intensely concentrated. Yet across all styles, one characteristic remains constant: acidity. It is the thread that connects every expression of Riesling.
